One Cedar Lane Defendant Surfaces “Settlement Proposal” While Another Questions Standing

August 19, 2023

Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. has litigated one of the largest litigation campaigns ever, having sued over 330 defendants since May 2019. More than 50 patents, of disparate subject matter but all received from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV), have been asserted against companies in various industries, with a concentration around products and services that involve image processing, in complaints filed in a wide variety of federal districts. The campaign has been conducted in file-and-dismiss fashion, with most cases ending relatively quickly, but one of several international defendants for which service of process has been a challenge has recently filed a document that reveals the amount of a Cedar Lane “settlement proposal”, while one of the few remaining domestic defendants has filed a motion to dismiss raising questions about whether the NPE actually owns the patents that it asserts.
