Per prior RPX reporting, a consolidation of patent assets to Cloud Controls LLC earlier this year suggested a new monetization strategy. Now, Cloud Controls has indeed filed suit, accusing Samsung (2:24-cv-00925) of infringing five patents received through the provision of a wide array of products, including the Samsung Cloud platform, Samsung Galaxy-series smartphones, and Samsung Sound Tower-series speakers. At issue are features ranging from predictive keyboard tools to the Quick Share service.

Add to the list of portfolio pickups by the same Korean monetization firm, which already includes batches of US patents from SKhynix and SOLiD, a set of assets more recently acquired from Suzhou Lekin Semiconductor Co. Ltd. (d/b/a LEKIN). Assignments recently made public by the USPTO also reveal bursts of activity from two monetization professionals, both suggesting possible strategy shifts going forward.
