Monument Peak Ventures, LLC (MPV) has filed its second suit of 2024, accusing Vivotek (6:24-cv-00361) of infringing four patents acquired from Eastman Kodak in a new Western District of Texas complaint. The Dominion Harbor Enterprises LLC plaintiff targets facial recognition, object detection, and video summarization features within various image capturing or processing products. The only other active suit in this campaign, filed against TCL (TCT Mobile) in early January 2024, has become mired in a dispute over the proper service of process on foreign defendants, Magistrate Judge J. Baxter Boone recently ordering the defendants to provide an address for certain Chinese entities “to avoid an unnecessary game of ‘whack-a-mole’”.
