Two more defendants have been added to the litigation campaign that Interface IP Holdings LLC launched in 2012. The new complaints both assert the 7,500,201 patent against Air France (1:16-cv-00164) and KLM (1:16-cv-00165), with the NPE also asserting two other, related patents (7,080,325; 7,406,663) against Air France. The patents generally concern functionalities associated with online search, including, for example, width text entry field adjustment and auto-complete suggestions.

Interface IP filed suit against JPMorgan Chase. Interface’s complaint accuses JPMorgan’s website of infringing a patent related to auto-complete character suggestions on a webpage (7,500,201). Since November 2012, Interface has filed suit against 34 diverse companies that operate websites. Interface acquired ‘201 from Call-Tell in August 2010 and it was reviewed by RPX in an open market opportunity in October 2011 (Call-Tell 2). 4/23, Delaware District Court, 1:14cv00532

Interface IP Holdings filed five separate suits against Alaska Air, CNBC, LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, National Railroad Passenger, and Orbitz, alleging that the defendant’s websites infringe one or two patents (depending on the defendant) related to width text entry field adjustment and auto-complete suggestions (7,500,201 and 7,406,663). The patents-in-suit originated from bankrupt entity, Call-Tell, and were assigned to Interface IP Holdings in August 2010.  RPX reviewed the patents-in-suit on the open market twice, most recently (as Call-Tell 2) in October 2011.  3/7, District of Delaware, 1:13cv00373, 1:13cv00374, 1:13cv00375, 1:13cv00376, 1:13cv00377.
