Avant Location Technologies LLC launched its sole litigation campaign this past July with a suit against Generac (ecobee) in the Eastern District of Texas. Now, the plaintiff has sued Samsung (2:24-cv-00133) in the same district. The seven asserted patents, five of which are making their litigation debut, generally relate to a system for providing “presence related services” to a designated “special area” through a linked mobile station. Samsung is targeted over a wide array of devices, including earphones, smartphones, smart watches, and tablets, that support the SmartThings Find feature.
