In late October, Dynamic Data Technologies, LLC (DDT) launched an international litigation campaign targeting image/video processing technologies. Of the 11 companies so far hit in the US—including Amazon, Dell, Qualcomm, and Samsung—several have also been sued by DDT in China (AMD, Google, and Microsoft) and in Germany (Apple). DDT’s patents-in-campaign are a subset of a larger set of assets acquired earlier this year from MaxLinear; they originate with various operating companies, including NXP—which earlier this month, assigned a portfolio of patents directly to DDT.
