In the first half of November 2015, RPX saw six patent transfers to NPEs recorded by the USPTO. Two of those recently recorded transactions involve patents that have been previously asserted in litigation against operating companies.

Digital Empire Limited filed suit against AU Optronics as part of a campaign begun in July 2014 that asserts a single patent (8,081,169). The complaint accuses touch-sensitive panels manufactured by AU, and incorporated into touchscreen devices, of infringing the patent-in-suit. The asserted patent relates to a touch-capable cover lens for a mobile device. Digital Empire acquired the patent from operating company Cando Corporation in March 2014.  It has asserted it in a handful of litigations against manufacturers of touchscreen components. 9/3, Southern District of California, 3:14cv02079
