Dominion Harbor Reboots Cloud Storage Campaign

January 12, 2019

Mobile Networking Solutions, LLC (MNS), an affiliate of Texas monetization and advisory firm Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC, has revived a sleeping campaign over a family of physical computer storage patents. This past week MNS sued Alibaba (3:19-cv-00217) and Uber (3:19-cv-00219), training its infringement allegations on the use of cloud storage systems based on Hadoop, including its Distributed File System (HDFS), YARN, and MapReduce. MNS asserted patents from this family in a case brought in 2017 against Experian and MapR Distribution; the family was previously at issue in a much larger campaign litigated by Parallel Iron LLC (a subsidiary of IP Navigation Group, LLC d/b/a IPNav), which hit nearly 50 defendants between 2011 and 2014.
