Preliminary Injunction Denied in Long-Running, Resuscitated Media Delivery Case
In Case You Missed It
Northern District of Texas Chief Judge David C. Godbey has denied a motion for a preliminary injunction filed against X (f/k/a Twitter), ruling that VidStream LLC, as an NPE, failed to prove that any injury that it has sustained through the infringement that it alleges cannot be redressed by money damages. The court revived this case back in April 2019 when the plaintiff was Youtoo Technologies, LLC, the defendant was Twitter, all three asserted patents were under inter partes review (IPR) by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and the two surviving asserted patents were held invalid under Alice in a district court decision that the Federal Circuit refused to review via interlocutory appeal. Given, in part, the “sea change” in patent eligibility law over the years, Judge Godbey rebooted the suit, with new counsel, a new plaintiff, and a new complaint—as well as eventually a new defendant and a new Alice ruling.
