Another Atlantic IP Plaintiff Sues HP Enterprise
New Patent Litigation
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.

Dell Next Up for Atlantic IP’s Eireog; Amazon, for Its Croga
New Patent Litigation
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.

New Patent Litigation
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.

This set of defendants is familiar to Atlantic IP.

Atlantic IP Moves Over 200 Patents to a New Home
Patent Market, Patent Watch
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.

A Last 2023 Look at Notable Patent Assignments
Patent Market, Patent Watch
Patent transfers recently made public by the USPTO include multiple assignments between NPEs, several of which have litigated previously received assets, but others of which are new and have yet to file suit. They also include a grant to the US Treasury Department of four assets, one of which was “litigated” through this past July, when Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright, on the court’s own motion, brought the campaign to an end.
