Evidence of IP Edge LLC’s frequent practice of naming individuals—seemingly with no discernible connections to patent monetization—as managers or managing members of its various LLCs has long been reported by RPX. Now, with Amazon having recently brought that practice to the attention of Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly, and with a raft of amended disclosures filed on the same day last week by a handful of apparent IP Edge plaintiffs litigating before that same judge, the coming months may see the full extent of that setup, and its bearing on standing, come to light.

Earlier this month, RPX reported the launch of new campaigns by apparent IP Edge LLC plaintiffs Noblewood IP LLC, Pixeltide Pathway LLC, and Wikeshire IP LLC—each asserting a former IBM patent. Assignment records made public this week suggest that more such litigation could be coming.

Apparent IP Edge LLC plaintiffs Noblewood IP LLC, Pixeltide Pathway LLC, and Wikeshire IP LLC have each launched an inaugural litigation campaign, Noblewood suing Comcast (NBCUniversal Media), Fox (Fox News Network), New York Times, ViacomCBS, and Virtucom over media streaming tools and services; Pixeltide Pathway suing A.T. Cross, CalAmp (LoJack), Tile, and TrackR over tracking devices and solutions; and Wikeshire IP suing DATAX (Kapsch TrafficCom), Econolite Systems, Iteris, and Teledyne FLIR over transportation analytics tools. Noblewood (one such patent), Pixeltide Pathway (two), and Wikeshire (one) assert former IBM patents that were acquired by Daedalus Group LLC in 2019.
