In Targeted Advertising Campaign, Plaintiffs Shift to Battle-Tested Patents

December 6, 2024

Early this past September, AlmondNet, Inc. and its subsidiary Intent IQ, LLC amended their March 2023 complaint against Comcast (FreeWheel Media (Beeswax.io)) to assert a fifth patent—one for which the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) had twice refused to institute trial in response to an inter partes review (IPR) petition. PTAB trials have been instituted with respect to the other four patents, and the defendants have asked Delaware District Judge Maryellen Noreika to impose a stay. Now, the coplaintiffs have filed a second complaint against FreeWheel and Beeswax.io (1:24-cv-01259), again in Delaware, this one asserting four additional patents, each of which has been unsuccessfully challenged before the PTAB. They have also hit JWP Connatix (Connatix Native Exchange) (1:24-cv-01296) with a complaint in the same district.
