For the fourth time since 2015, Universal Entertainment (f/k/a Aruze), a Japanese arcade and video game manufacturer, has assigned a US patent to an entity associated with Texas monetization firm Endpoint IP LLC for assertion in litigation. Gallio IP LLC received a patent, broadly directed to a “data output system” for controlling access to electronic data by detecting identification codes within a “predetermined range”, in April, suing Xerox (6:20-cv-00667) in the Western District of Texas just this past week.

eHierarchy LLC, an entity associated with Texas monetization firm Endpoint IP LLC, has filed two new suits in its litigation campaign over patents from a data access and display family that issued to their sole named inventor. Verizon (Tumblr) (1:20-cv-00886), accused over the provision of its platform, and Verizon Media (1:20-cv-00887), accused over the provision of Yahoo Mail, are named as defendants in separate Southern District of New York complaints. eHierarchy’s new suits come amid the creation of the multiple new Endpoint IP entities in Texas, possibly foreshadowing more 2020 litigation.
