Texas-based NPE Concinnitas LLC and inventor George W. Hindman have resumed their litigation campaign after nearly two years without new filings, suing Lenovo (Motorola Mobility) (2:16-cv-00901), Skyroam (2:16-cv-00900), and Zubie (2:16-cv-00899) over a single patent (7,805,542) generally related to a mobile unit attachment that restricts access to wireless data based on the recipient’s authorization status. Accused of infringement are a similar range of products as in previous cases: Motorola Mobility is targeted for making and selling various Android smartphones, while Skyroam and Zubie are alleged to infringe through mobile hotspots.

Concinnitas, LLC and inventor George W. Hindman continue their pattern of filing new litigation at the close of the year. The new defendants in their campaign are Cradlepoint (2:14-cv-01045), D-Link (2:14-cv-01043), HTC (2:14-cv-01050), America, LG Electronics (2:14-cv-01049), Sapido (2:14-cv-01048), and Zoom Telephonics (2:14-cv-01047). Hindman is the named inventor on the patent-in-suit (7,805,542), which generally relates to a mobile unit attachment that restricts access to wireless data based on the recipient’s authorization status. Concinnitas is the exclusive licensee of the ‘542 patent. Mobile devices and routers manufactured by the defendants are accused of infringing that patent, and similar products are accused of infringement in the campaign’s other suits. Mobile device and service provider, including Huawei, Samsung, Sprint, and ZTE, are the main targets of the campaign.

Concinnitas filed five new suits against three carriers and two makers of mobile handsets. The entity sued Franklin Wireless, Huawei, Novatel, Sprint, and ZTE asserting a patent related to restricting wireless data received on a mobile device and determining the recipient’s authorization status (7,805,542). Concinnitas sued Samsung and Sierra Wireless in December 2012. Those cases are currently ongoing. RPX reviewed the asserted patent in an open market opportunity offered by the inventor in July 2012. 12/3, Eastern District of Texas, 2:13cv01049, 2:13cv01050, 2:13cv01051, 2:13cv01052, 2:13cv01053
