Through multiple August 2021 assignments, HANNIBAL IP LLC received 35 US patents, together with foreign counterparts, from FG Innovation Company Ltd. (f/k/a FG IP Innovation Company Ltd.) (FGI). It has now filed its first US suit over those assets, accusing Samsung (4:25-cv-00200) in an Eastern District of Texas complaint of infringing four of them. The asserted patents, broadly directed to wireless communications, are described as “essential to practicing the 3GPP 5G Standard”, with the provision of Galaxy-series smartphones that support that standard in the crosshairs. HANNIBAL IP, a Longhorn IP LLC plaintiff, pleads that the alleged infringement has been willful, indicating that it sent a notice letter to Samsung as early as June 2022.
