Its first case against Alphabet (Google) still stayed to await the outcome of multiple inter partes review (IPR) proceedings, Virginia plaintiff Security First Innovations, LLC (SFI) has now sued IBM (1:25-cv-00514) in the Eastern District of Virginia. The three patents-in-suit, each newly asserted in litigation, are described in the complaint as generally “relate[d] to systems for securing Data-At-Rest from unauthorized access or use”. IBM is accused of infringement through the provision of its Cloud Object Storage system and related products, with features related to data parsing and encryption at issue.
