Assignments recently made public by the USPTO reflect, among other things, the apparent divestitures from a networking provider of roughly a quarter of its former US patent assets and from a smart projection company to a European monetization firm of what appears to be all of its US assets, as well as a double-bounce for the patent portfolio of a customer experience (CX) vendor exiting bankruptcy protection late last year and an ongoing flow of wireless communications patents to a Texas monetization firm.

In connection with the acquisition of a large portfolio of patent assets from Avaya earlier this year, Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC CEO David Pridham reportedly predicted, “We expect to have over 20,000 patents by the end of the year”, while also expressing that “[n]inety percent of [Dominion’s] deals are done without litigation”, litigating only “when we have to”. Apparently, the Texas monetization firm “had to”, filing a pair of September 2024 suits against Comcast over a subset of the former Avaya assets; meanwhile, Dominion more recently inched closer to its predicted year-end patent holdings mark, another of its Texas entities picking up roughly 100 wireless communications patents at the end of October.

RPX’s last look at notable patent assignments considered the movement of assets to Ueran Technology LLC from Huawei; to AX Wireless, LLC from SOLiD; to VideoLabs, Inc. from DCX US Agility Platform LLC, a subsidiary of DXC Technology; to Flash Uplink LLC from its publicly traded parent Quest Patent Research Corporation (QPRC); to various entities from Ascend Innovation Management, LLC entities; and to Nera Innovations Limited from multiple entities associated with Atlantic IP Services. It is time for a review of additional notable transfers recorded since then.
