Acacia Research Expands IoT and Smart Home Wireless Communications Campaign
NRG Energy (Vivint) (2:23-cv-00503) and Leedarson IOT Technology (Leedarson Lighting) (2:23-cv-00499) are the latest defendants to be sued by Stingray IP Solutions, LLC in its wireless communications campaign, initiated in February 2021. At issue in each of the new East Texas complaints are four patents described by the plaintiff, a subsidiary of Acacia Research Corporation, as covering “various aspects of monitoring, detecting intrusions, and encrypting and decrypting wireless communications networks”. The defendants are accused of infringement through the provision of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home products that support certain wireless networking protocols (i.e., Wi-Fi and ZigBee).
