Riccardo Vieri has filed an Eastern District of Texas complaint against Intuit (2:24-cv-00774) targeting the provision of features for sending “automated and personalized SMS messages to [] customers” within the Intuit Mailchimp platform. The asserted patent is broadly directed to a contextual advertisement system that uses an SMS messaging system. The plaintiff pleads that “[h]e wants to litigate in a United States District Court that has a repeatable time to trial in patent infringement litigation of less than two years. The Eastern District of Texas meets this criteria, and is more convenient for him than anywhere else in the United States due to its location and safety when compared to other” US district courts.
