Pleading that it “specializes in mobile technologies and social media solutions”, Mobile Data Technologies LLC has, in a new Eastern District of Texas complaint, accused Samsung (2:24-cv-00435) of infringing four patents broadly pertaining to managing content on mobile devices. All four patents were asserted in MDT’s earlier suit, against Meta Platforms, which was transferred for convenience out of the Western District of Texas to the Northern District of California, where it was stayed to await the conclusion of multiple inter partes review (IPR) proceedings begun in response to petitions that Meta had filed.

Since late last year, RPX has flagged three batches of security agreements—each batch covering six different patent portfolios—all apparently involving the same third-party funder. Of the 18 funded patent portfolios, all but one has spawned new litigation campaigns, four having started last month. Meanwhile, public records provide hints as to the possible identity of the funder here—helpful hints, since the plaintiffs litigating in the Northern District of California or the District of New Jersey have apparently skirted, so far, respective disclosure requirements in those venues.

Mobile Data Technologies LLC has filed its first litigation, suing Meta Platforms (7:22-cv-00244) in the Western District of Texas, asserting six patents generally related to managing content on mobile devices. Targeted is the Facebook platform, the complaint calling out features for photo sharing and/or tagging. The six patents-in-suit belong to a family of nine, three of which were previously litigated via two separate campaigns, one filed by Wireless Ink Corporation and the other by Publishing Technologies LLC. Facebook was a defendant in the Wireless Ink litigation.
