Cameras with LCD Interfaces Accused of Infringing Former Motorola Patent

SCA Ventures, LLC has added three cases to the campaign that it began last month against Huawei, suing Canon (2:17-cv-00730), Panasonic (2:17-cv-00731), and Ricoh (2:17-cv-00732). The new complaints again assert a single patent generally related to electronic devices with a display that provides a manually controllable cursor and virtual keyboard. Infringement allegations against these new defendants focus on video and/or still cameras with LCD control interfaces, while SCA Ventures accused Huawei of infringement through the provision of phones with text editing features responsive to a user through the touchscreen. The patent-in-suit was previously asserted in a campaign litigated by an affiliate of Daniel F. Perez.
