Browse3D, LLC has added a case to the litigation campaign that it launched in March 2019, suing Staples (6:20-cv-01051) in the Western District of Texas. The plaintiff asserts a single patent, generally related to simultaneous presentation of multiple webpages. Infringement allegations target the provision of e-commerce websites, with features for presenting customized information (e.g., items recommended for purchase) based on monitored browsing activity at issue. In prior litigation, Flash3D LLC—an entity associated with monetization firm IP Valuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal)—accused Facebook, Microsoft, and Samsung of infringing earlier-issuing members of the same family in a campaign that ran from June to November 2017.

Browse3D, LLC has expanded its sole litigation campaign, launched in March 2019, with new suits against Booking Holdings (f/k/a Priceline Group) (6:20-cv-00547) and Office Depot (6:20-cv-00548) in the Western District of Texas. A single patent, generally related to simultaneous presentation of multiple webpages, is asserted, with the defendants accused of infringement over their e-commerce websites’ delivery of customized information (e.g., items recommended for purchase) based on monitored user browsing activity. Flash3D LLC, an entity associated with monetization firm IP Valuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal), litigated earlier members of the same family but with a different infringement focus, targeting Facebook over the presentation on www.facebook.com of multiple “panels” on a single browser page and Microsoft and Samsung over the provision of virtual reality headsets.

Browse3D, LLC, a Texas entity created in February, has filed suit over the member to issue most recently in a family familiar to litigation. The NPE has sued retailers Dick’s Sporting Goods (6:19-cv-00186) and Nordstrom (6:19-cv-00188) over their e-commerce websites’ presentation of customized information (e.g., items recommended for purchase) based on tracking links that a user previously clicked on. In prior litigation, a different plaintiff—Flash3D LLC, an affiliate of monetization firm IP Valuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal)—accused Facebook, Microsoft, and Samsung of infringing earlier-issuing members of the same family, the former through the presentation on www.facebook.com of multiple “panels” on a single browser page and the latter two through the provision of virtual reality headsets.
