Smart Authentication IP, LLC (SAIP), a recently formed NPE managed by Monument Patent Holdings, LLC, has launched a campaign asserting a user authentication patent (8,082,213). On November 4, SAIP sued Evernote (2:16-cv-01233), LogMeIn (2:16-cv-01234), and United Services Automobile Association (2:16-cv-01232), accusing the companies’ two-factor authentication processes of infringing the ‘213 patent. These suits trigger the start of a new litigation campaign—SAIP’s first and only to date. However, Monument NPEs have so far initiated seven campaigns in 2016, which together have resulted in over 50 patent infringement suits against operating companies.
