Litigation over Former TP Lab Patents Proliferates
New Patent Litigation
Lab Technology LLC has added separate Western District of Texas cases against Alphabet (Google) (6:24-cv-00334), Cisco (6:24-cv-00338), Intel (6:24-cv-00332), LG Electronics (LGE), (6:24-cv-00336), Lyft (6:24-cv-00333), Microsoft (6:24-cv-00331), NVIDIA (6:24-cv-00337), and Qualcomm (6:24-cv-00335) to the litigation campaign first begun early last month with Eastern District of Texas suits filed against Samsung and Verizon and then expanded earlier this month with separate suits, also filed in the Eastern District of Texas, against Amazon, Anritsu, Bose, Ericsson, Stryker, and Quectel Wireless Solutions. The plaintiff has also filed a District of Colorado case against Zoom Video Communications (1:24-cv-01711), asserting a patent already in suit against AT&T. Currently available USPTO records have yet to reflect the assignment of any of Lab Technology’s six patents-in-suit away from TP Lab, Inc.

Seven Defendants Hit with Patents from Former TP Lab Portfolio
New Patent Litigation
Last month, Lab Technology LLC began litigating patents apparently received from TP Lab, Inc. with separate suits filed against Samsung and Verizon in the Eastern District of Texas. One of those two cases already dismissed (without prejudice), the plaintiff has now filed complaints, all in the same venue, against Amazon (2:24-cv-00409), Anritsu (2:24-cv-00411), AT&T (2:24-cv-00412), Bose (2:24-cv-00413), Ericsson (2:24-cv-00414), Stryker (2:24-cv-00416), and Quectel Wireless Solutions (2:24-cv-00415). Overlapping subsets of four patents are asserted across these new complaints, with infringement allegations focused on an array of products, including smart speakers, mobile apps, and telecommunications products.

Yet Another New Mexico Plaintiff Launches Patent Litigation
New Patent Litigation
New Mexico entity Lab Technology LLC has filed separate Eastern District of Texas cases against Samsung (2:24-cv-00324) and Verizon (2:24-cv-00323). Against Samsung the plaintiff asserts five patents apparently received from TP Lab, Inc., three of which are also in suit against Verizon. One of those three patents asserted against both Samsung and Verizon generally relates to “refreshing” a phone’s display with a location-specific “communication service”. Lab Technology is not the first plaintiff to accuse Samsung of infringing that patent, here targeting provision of the Galaxy Watch6 where the prior lawsuit, dismissed with prejudice in January 2019, focused on Samsung smartphones.
