In September 2020, Philips filed a raft of district court complaints—one against each of Dell (1:20-cv-01240), HP (1:20-cv-01241), Intel (1:20-cv-01243), Lenovo (1:20-cv-01242), LG Electronics (LGE) (1:20-cv-01244), MediaTek (1:20-cv-01246), and Realtek Semiconductor (1:20-cv-01247) in the District of Delaware, as well as one against Qingdao China Prosperity State-Owned Capital Investment Operation Group (Hisense) (2:20-cv-08546) in the Central District of California—within one day of filing a complaint before the International Trade Commission (ITC) naming these defendants as proposed respondents. The ITC action ended in no violation established, prompting a subsequent lift of the customary district court stays; however, in July 2024, Philips transferred the asserted patents to Media Content Protection LLC, an entity managed by experienced patent monetization professionals and backed by a prominent litigation funder. The dust has almost entirely settled on the plaintiff swap here, Media Content Protection for Philips.
