MyMail, Ltd. has added four more Texas cases to the litigation campaign begun back in 2004, asserting in new complaints a familiar network connectivity patent against a wide variety of Wi-Fi-enabled devices, specifically those supporting WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and/or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)/WPA2/WPA3. Canon (2:18-cv-00015), HP (2:18-cv-00016), and Samsung (2:18-cv-00017) have been sued in the Eastern District of Texas, where most of the NPE’s cases have been filed, and Lenovo (1:18-cv-00048) has been sued in the Western District of the state. These new suits join active cases against Acer (also in the Western District), NETGEAR (in the District of Delaware), and TCL Communications (TCT Mobile US) in the Central District of California.

MyMail, Ltd. has filed cases against new defendants in its long-running litigation campaign, Netgear (1:17-cv-01219), Panasonic (2:17-cv-00606) and Ricoh (2:17-cv-00605), with Netgear sued in the District of Delaware and the latter two in the Eastern District of Texas. The NPE has also filed new suits against previous defendants Acer (1:17-cv-00823), in the Western District of Texas, and TCL Communications (TCT Mobile) (8:17-cv-01461), in the Central District of California, each of which recently saw earlier, Eastern District of Texas cases dismissed without prejudice. All five new suits assert the network connectivity patent at issue in the campaign, with MyMail alleging infringement through the provision of various Wi-Fi devices supporting WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) and/or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)/WPA2.

MyMail, Ltd. has added another case to its growing litigation campaign, accusing Fujifilm (2:16-cv-01357) of infringing a single patent (8,732,318) through the manufacture and sale of Wi-Fi-enabled cameras. The ‘318 patent, generally related to facilitating network connectivity, is one patent in an eight-member family owned by MyMail, which asserted an earlier network connectivity patent (6,571,290) in a case filed against multiple Internet service providers a dozen years ago. The NPE also asserted two toolbar customization patents (8,275,863; 9,021,070) from that family in one case filed in 2013 and in multiple recent cases, all filed this year, against defendants ranging from Nasdaq to Comcast.
