Amid the apparent conclusion of its first International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation, inventor-controlled IngenioSpec LLC has filed a second complaint before the ITC (337-TA-3777), which alleges infringement of three patents through the provision of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. It names as proposed respondents ByteDance (Funnico, PICO) and purported manufacturer Qingdao Chuangjian Weilai Technology; HTC; Meta Platforms; and Valve. The plaintiff has also filed its first litigation in district court, with Eastern District of Texas suits against Bose (2:24-cv-00822), LG Electronics (LGE) (2:24-cv-00823), Samsung (2:24-cv-00819), and Sony (2:24-cv-00820). There, the plaintiff asserts seven patents (in overlapping sets) and targets the provision of “wireless communication devices, wearable hearing devices, and/or hearing enhancement systems” (i.e., earbuds) that support features such as Bluetooth connectivity, charging circuitry, EQ modes, microphones, signal modification, and touch controls.
