Atlantic IP Services Limited appears to have filed just one new district court patent case so far this year: the firm’s EireOg Innovations Limited hit Amazon (Amazon Web Services (AWS)) in the Western District of Texas in April, asserting a group of former NXP patents. However, USPTO data suggest that Atlantic IP may be launching a new campaign soon, the firm having also picked up a new portfolio of patents in April.

EireOg Innovations Limited, an Atlantic IP Services Limited plaintiff, has sued Amazon (Amazon Web Services (AWS)) (1:25-cv-00552) in the Western District of Texas where the same plaintiff has active cases against Dell, HP, and Oracle. Those suits, each filed in the first half of 2024, have all pushed into claim construction, having recently been assigned to District Judge Alan D. Albright. A separate wing of this campaign is underway before Eastern District of Texas Judge Rodney Gilstrap, against Acer, Cisco, Fortinet, HP Enterprise (HPE), IBM, Lenovo, and Palo Alto Networks. There, the Federal Circuit recently dismissed a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by Lenovo, the appeals court refusing to reverse a denial of Lenovo’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Across this campaign, EireOg asserts up to five former NXP patents, targeting devices alleged to incorporate certain Intel and/or AMD CPUs.

EireOg Innovations Limited, an Atlantic IP Services Limited plaintiff, has added a Western District of Texas case against Oracle (1:24-cv-00697) to the litigation campaign targeting with former NXP patents devices alleged to incorporate certain Intel and/or AMD CPUs. While the Eastern District of Texas cases in this campaign, filed separately against Acer, Cisco, Fortinet, HP Enterprise (HPE), IBM, Lenovo, and Palo Alto Networks, have been assigned to Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap, the West Texas suits—against Dell, HP, and now Oracle—await assignment to a judge.

A week after suing HP in the Western District of Texas, Eireog Innovations Limited, an Atlantic IP Services Limited plaintiff, has filed an Eastern District of Texas complaint accusing Acer (2:24-cv-00449) of infringing the same three patents. As has been the case since this campaign began in April, Eireog targets the provision of various computing products, including certain categories of laptops and desktops, that incorporate certain Intel and/or AMD CPUs.

Eireog Innovations Limited has sued HP (1:24-cv-00644) in the Western District of Texas over the provision of various computing products, including certain devices broadly categorized as laptops, desktops, and workstations, that incorporate certain Intel and AMD CPUs. The three patents-in-suit, among five asserted across this campaign so far, are broadly directed to interrupt prioritization in virtualized systems sharing hardware resources and cache memory control. Earlier defendants in this campaign include Cisco, Dell, Fortinet, HP Enterprise (HPE), IBM, Lenovo, and Palo Alto Networks.

Atlantic IP’s Eireog Innovations Limited has filed a new Eastern District of Texas complaint against HP Enterprise (HPE) (2:24-cv-00279), asserting the same quad of former NXP patents at issue throughout its prior litigation. Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap already presides over previous cases there, filed separately against Cisco, Fortinet, IBM, Lenovo, and Palo Alto Networks. Eireog sued Dell over the same four patents earlier this month, but in the Western District of Texas. Targeted across the campaign, as well as in the new HPE complaint, is the provision of products, ranging from laptops to servers, that incorporate certain AMD and Intel CPUs.

Plaintiffs associated with Dublin-based monetization firm Atlantic IP Services Limited continue to file new cases, week after week. Eireog Innovations Limited hit Dell (1:26-cv-00416) in the Western District of Texas over four former NXP patents last week, while Croga Innovations Limited sued Amazon (Amazon Web Services) (1:24-cv-00398) in the same district over a single former L3Harris patent. The Dell complaint focuses on the provision of a wide variety of products, including laptops, desktops, and servers, allegedly “using Intel-based CPUs (Haswell-based architecture and newer)”; the Amazon complaint, of the AWS VPC (Virtual Private cloud), AWS EC2, and AWS Network Firewall products.

Eireog Innovations Limited has followed up its litigation debut last week—with separate Eastern District of Texas suits against Cisco, Fortinet, IBM, and Palo Alto Networks—by filing a case against Lenovo (2:24-cv-00239) in the same district. The plaintiff asserts the same four patents, again targeting the provision of products, this time ranging from laptops to servers, that incorporate certain AMD and Intel-based CPUs. This campaign appears to be at least the ninth from an Atlantic IP Services Limited plaintiff to hit Lenovo and/or its subsidiary Motorola Mobility.

Eireog Innovations Limited, an Atlantic Services IP Limited plaintiff, has filed its first cases over the portfolio of about a dozen patents that it received from NXP last November. The defendants are Cisco (2:24-cv-00224), Fortinet (2:24-cv-00225), IBM (2:24-cv-00226), and Palo Alto Networks (2:24-cv-00227), each accused of infringing the same four patents over the provision of products, ranging from blade servers to firewalls, that incorporate certain AMD- and/or Intel-based CPUs. This set of defendants is familiar to Atlantic IP.

Separate assignments of patent assets from five entities operating under the umbrella of Dublin-based patent monetization firm Atlantic IP Services Limited to a sixth such entity were recently recorded and made public by the USPTO. The transfers leave each of those divestors without any US patent holdings, at least according to currently available assignment records. Two Atlantic IP plaintiffs have notified the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the change in real party-in-interest in proceedings before it.
