Staton Techiya Files Lengthy and Revealing Disclosures After Assignment to Judge Connolly
Patent Market, Patent Watch, TPLF
This past July, Staton Techiya, LLC filed a pair of Delaware cases against Samsung (Harman International Industries, Harman-Kardon) targeting the provision of automobile audio systems and earbuds (including those offered by AKG and JBL). In its accompanying corporate disclosure statement, the plaintiff indicated that “it does not have a parent corporation and there is no publicly held corporation owning ten percent or more ownership interest in Techiya”. Then, on August 2, the case was assigned to Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly, in whose courtroom April 2022 standing orders impose heightened disclosure requirements on certain litigants. In response, Staton Techiya filed new statements on August 24—one supplementing that prior simple corporate disclosure (to list well over 100 "partners”) and the other identifying a single source of third-party litigation funding.
