QPRC Buys Former Cypress Semiconductor Portfolio from Monterey Research
Patent Market, Patent Watch, TPLF
Earlier this month, publicly traded Quest Patent Research Corporation (QPRC) purchased more than 2,500 US patents, as well as foreign counterparts and applications, for $9M from Monterey Research, LLC. The subsidiary receiving those assets, MR Licensing LLC, has filed its first suit, in which it accuses DENSO and Renesas Electronics (2:25-cv-00441) of infringing eight of the patents through the provision of a long list of accused products. QPRC’s recent SEC filing describes the portfolio as related to “storage device security and semiconductor circuitry”, indicating that the financing for the deal includes “up to $7,500,000 for patent enforcement costs, including legal fees subject to budget limitation to be agreed upon”. Monterey Research sued the same two defendants over four of the patents appearing in MR Licensing’s new complaint last year; word on the docket of that case concerning this change of ownership has yet to appear, beyond entries of appearance by MR Licensing counsel Fabricant LLP.
