CText IP LLC has filed a Southern District of New York complaint against Apple (1:24-cv-08821). Asserted are two patents generally directed to “correlating conversations in a messaging environment”, with infringement allegations targeting the provision of messaging features such as inline replies and tapbacks on iPhones and iPads. The plaintiff contends that the alleged infringement here has been willful, pleading that it sent Apple a letter in January 2023 offering it a license to the asserted patents.
