USPTO assignment records indicate that three entities tied to Texas monetization firm Empire IP LLC have received patent portfolios from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV). The first of them, Fleet Connect Solutions LLC (FCS), received its assets in May 2020 and began suing over them that December, including in districts that impose heightened disclosure requirements on litigants. Last month, RPX reported that, according to certifications filed across those districts, “Not One Person Is Apparently Interested, Financially or Otherwise, in the Outcome of Fleet Connect’s Cases” (December 2024). Since then, FCS (represented by Rozier Hardt McDonough PLLC) has filed a series of amended certifications, providing a list of interested nonparties, beyond “None”, but FCS has yet to do so across the board, and the other Empire IP plaintiff litigating assets from IV has not amended its “none” certifications.
