Since launching its sole litigation campaign in October 2022, inventor-controlled plaintiff Teleputers, LLC has sued eight defendants, including AMD, Analog Devices, Fujitsu, Marvell Technology, Oracle (Sun Microsystems), Qualcomm, and Renesas, targeting each over systems-on-chip (SoCs) based on certain Intel and/or ARM architectures. Following the dismissal of its last active litigation in December, the plaintiff has now added a case against SoftBank Group (ARM) (6:23-cv-00874) itself in the Western District of Texas. The plaintiff asserts two patents generally related to permutation instructions in a programmable processor, with the defendant targeted over the provision of SoCs that employ the ARM Neon architecture.

After flashing briefly back to life this past summer, the sole litigation campaign of Teleputers, LLC, begun in 2020, has resumed, the inventor-controlled plaintiff suing AMD (6:23-cv-00756) and Analog Devices (6:23-cv-00755) in separate Western District of Texas complaints. Two patents, generally related to permutation instructions in a programmable processor, are asserted in each complaint, with infringement allegations targeting the provision of Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) that are based on certain ARM architectures.

Two late 2020 patent assignments recently made public by the USPTO suggest that more litigation may be in store for the targets of Teleputers, LLC, an NPE that last year sued Fujitsu, Oracle (Sun Microsystems), Marvell, and Renesas over their provision of certain systems-on-chip (SoCs).

Teleputers, LLC has sued Fujitsu (6:20-cv-00640) over the provision of certain systems-on-chip (SoCs) that are based on the ARM NEON architecture. The suit follows June cases against Marvell, Oracle, and Renesas, with three patents generally related to permutation instructions in a programmable processor asserted across the campaign, all three at issue in the new complaint against Fujitsu. That complaint joins the others in the Western District of Texas before Judge Alan D. Albright.

At the start of June, Teleputers, LLC filed its first patent litigation, suing Marvell Semiconductor in the Western District of Texas over two patents naming as one of its inventors Ruby B. Lee, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Princeton University. The plaintiff finished the month accusing Renesas (6:20-cv-00599) of infringing the same two patents, in a second West Texas complaint targeting certain systems-on-chip (SoCs) based on the ARM NEON architectures. Teleputers also hit Oracle (6:20-cv-00600) there, over a third Lee patent, generally related to instructions in a programmable processor as well, targeting the Oracle Solaris 11 Operating System (including Oracle SPARC and Oracle x86 Servers shipped with Oracle Solaris 11).

Teleputers, LLC has taken aim at Marvell Semiconductor (6:20-cv-00512) in a new Western District of Texas suit targeting the provision of certain systems-on-chip (SoCs) “that employ [ARM] Neon technology” and that allegedly support certain infringing instructions. The plaintiff asserts two patents, one generally related to permutation instructions in a programmable processor for cryptography and multimedia applications and another broadly concerning 2D multimedia processing using subword parallelism. Public records suggest that at least one of the inventors named on the patents-in-suit may control Teleputers.
