Recently recorded patent assignments made public by the USPTO contain noteworthy transfers to multiple plaintiffs now in litigation, including a new source of patents for Apex Beam Technologies LLC, a new source of patents for Pantech Corporation, and a familiar source of patent rights for Crystal Leap Zrt, this time assigning patents directly, though. Movement can also be seen from troubled patent monetization firm IP Edge LLC, as well as movement from various sources to patent broker Allied Security Trust. Take a look.

Inventor-controlled NL Giken, Inc. has filed its first litigation, suing Amazon (Twitch) (1:24-cv-00028) and Apple (1:24-cv-00013) in the District of Delaware over a wide array of hardware and software products ranging from smartphones to streaming platforms, with features related to content sharing, emergency communications, streaming, and video conferencing at issue. The plaintiff, having apparently been formed in Japan by the inventor to “develop and license” his inventions, asserts overlapping sets of ten patents broadly directed to various aspects of computing, image storage, and wireless communications.
