MISSED CALL Risks Judge Connolly’s Renewed Interest in Its Litigation Campaign

MISSED CALL, LLC has revived its litigation campaign, suing Sangoma (1:25-cv-00467) in the Western District of New York over the same patent asserted in June 2022 cases filed in the District of Delaware against Freshworks, Talkdesk, and Twilio. There, Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly retains jurisdiction to explore MISSED CALL’s compliance with April 2022 standing orders concerning corporate ownership and certain litigation funding. An in-person February 14, 2024 status conference was taken off calendar after William P. Ramey, III of litigation counsel Ramey LLP notified the court of a conflict with a “scheduled procedure” in Houston, Texas. Judge Connolly has yet to reschedule that in-person conference; meanwhile, various declarations filed by Dynamic IP Deals, LLC (d/b/a DynaIP) principal Carlos O. Gorrichategui have shed additional light on this monetization operation.
