Touchpoint Projection Innovations LLC has voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, its Eastern District of Texas action against Check Point Software Technologies, refiling substantially the same complaint (3:25-cv-00279) in the Northern District of Texas, which imposes heightened disclosure requirements on litigants. In connection with the new suit, M. Scott Fuller of Garteiser Honea, PLLC has signed a “Certificate of Interested Persons/Disclosure Statement” that, on its face, fails to provide “a complete list of all persons, associations of persons, firms, partnerships, corporations, guarantors, insurers, affiliates, parent or subsidiary corporations, or other legal entities that are financially interested in the outcome of the case”, as local rules require. A standard notice has been docketed, directing counsel with particularity “to review Rules 3.1, 7.4, and 81.2, regarding certificates of interested persons”.

Touchpoint Projection Innovations LLC, a plaintiff tied to prolific monetization figure Leigh M. Rothschild, has launched a second litigation campaign by suing Forcepoint (7:24-cv-00305) in the Western District of Texas and Broadcom (2:24-cv-00980), Check Point Software Technologies (2:24-cv-00981), and Zscaler (2:24-cv-00982) in the Eastern District of Texas. Asserted is one of two patents that Touchpoint received from inventor-controlled Everis in a June 2021 assignment. This plaintiff litigated the other one from February 2023, when sued in a declaratory judgment action filed by Leaseweb in the Eastern District of Virgina, through last month, when separate affirmative cases against Cloudflare and Thales (Imperva) were dismissed from the Eastern District of Texas.

While the activity of former top filer IP Edge LLC has ground to a halt in light of the “Series of Extraordinary Events” before Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly, other frequent plaintiffs have continued business as usual. Entities associated with Leigh M. Rothschild continue to add cases to earlier campaigns, with new litigation ginning up in 2023 as to two plaintiffs, Pay As You Go, LLC affirmatively and Touchpoint Projection Innovations LLC by declaratory judgment (DJ) complaint. Pay As You Go just sued UVNV (d/b/a Ultra Mobile) (Mint Mobile) (1:23-cv-00473) in Delaware over prepaid telecommunications services, while target Leaseweb (3:23-cv-00143) has responded to a letter floating a $2.5M figure for a “fully paid-up, non-exclusive license” from Touchpoint by preemptively filing a complaint in the Eastern District of Virginia.
