SCA Ventures, LLC, an affiliate of IP Valuation Partners LLC (IPVal), has filed suit against Huawei (2:17-cv-00684), asserting a patent previously seen in litigation brought by Numic Technology, LLC, an affiliate of Daniel F. Perez. Huawei is accused of infringement through the manufacture and sale of phones with text editing features responsive to a user through the touchscreen (e.g., locating a cursor by touch, selecting text for editing, pulling up a virtual keyboard, etc.). Defendants in the Numic Technology campaign, which concerned seven other patents not now at issue, included BLU Products, Ecom Instruments, Nikon, Sonim Technologies, TCT (TCT Mobile), and ZTE.

RPX noted, among the patent transfer records released during the first half of September, a number of patent transactions that suggest that new litigation campaigns will soon follow. Assignees in this week’s report include affiliates of IP Valuation Partners LLC and Monument Patent Holdings, LLC, with assignors ranging from small operating companies to tech giants.
