Lenovo and Pantech Hit by Iron Oak Mobile Devices Campaign

February 17, 2017

Iron Oak Technologies LLC has added suits against Lenovo (3:17-cv-00429) and Pantech (3:17-cv-00430) to the campaign that the inventor-controlled NPE started this past November. The same patents (5,966,658; 5,699,275; 6,148,202; 6,240,295; 6,295,449) are again at issue, with Pantech accused of infringing all five of them through the manufacture and sale of its smartphones and Lenovo accused of infringing all but the ‘449 patent through the provision of laptops and tablets. The ‘658 patent generally relates to automatically selecting a path over which a computer is to communicate, with infringement allegations focusing on the feature within mobile computing devices that selects between wired, Wi-Fi, and other preferred network options when on the move. The ‘275 patent generally relates to remotely patching the operating code of a mobile device, with infringement allegations focusing on the accused devices’ remote upgrade features. The remaining three patents, part of the same 22-member family, generally concern identifying and tracking items over a cellular network, with infringement allegations focusing on features in the accused products that identify them when moving.
