The cases that CLOUD SYSTEMS HOLDCO IP LLC (CSHIP) filed against Amazon (Ring), in the Central District of California, and against Alphabet (Google), in the Western District of Texas, have been stayed to await the outcome of an ex parte reexamination (EPR) of the sole patent there asserted. CSHIP has hit Google a second time, now with two other patents from the same family, one of which is making its debut in this campaign, begun last October; again targeted is the control of connected devices via mobile app within the Google Home platform.
