Street Spirit IP LLC has expanded its sole litigation campaign, launched in September 2022, with separate Northern District of California suits against Meta Platforms (3:23-cv-00879) and its subsidiary Instagram (5:23-cv-00883) as well as Microsoft (LinkedIn) (4:23-cv-00884). The sole asserted patent generally relates to providing security against cybercrimes by using an “identity verification and management” system in a social network service. The defendants are accused of infringement through the support of content moderation and user verification tools in their respective social media platforms.

Street Spirit IP LLC, an entity associated with monetization firm Dynamic IP Deals, LLC (d/b/a DynaIP), has filed its first litigation, suing Match Group (6:22-cv-01001). The sole asserted patent generally relates to “identity verification and management” in a social network system, with Match Group accused of infringement through the provision of online dating services that allegedly support certain identity verification tools. Street Spirit IP filed its case in the Western District of Texas, pleading that though formed in Delaware, Match Group “has employees working remotely with company equipment” in West Texas; plaintiffs associated with DynaIP have recently come under scrutiny before Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly—in Delaware.

Last week, RPX pointed its readers toward a string of new cases filed by various NPEs under the Dynamic IP Deals, LLC (d/b/a DynaIP) umbrella as well as public data suggesting that the start of multiple additional campaigns was likely imminent. Since then, one of those campaigns has begun; a new patent assignment to DynaIP has appeared; and the firm has created yet another Texas NPE.

Increasingly prolific monetization firm Dynamic IP Deals, LLC (d/b/a DynaIP) has been busy this month, so far opening up three campaigns—SmartWatch Mobileconcepts LLC focused on smartwatches, HALEY IP LLC on in-vehicle cameras, and WFR IP LLC on wireless earpieces and wearable piece products—and also filing several new cases via controlled plaintiff MISSED CALL LLC. The firm has filed dozens of new cases since the start of this year, and, having formed more than a handful of NPEs in Texas during the first half of 2022, DynaIP shows no signs of slowing down.
