Having launched over a dozen new campaigns during the first half of 2020, public records indicate that IP Edge LLC continues to create new Texas NPEs—including at least 20 in the past three months alone. It also appears to have a full pipeline of patents poised for litigation, with USPTO records reflecting a number of patent assignments to various IP Edge affiliates recorded this month. Meanwhile, multiple recent internal transfers among IP Edge NPEs gave rise to new litigation filed this past week.

One of the new IP Edge LLC campaigns to begin during the monetization firm’s end-of-June filing spree involves a single battery management patent received from Empire Technology Development LLC by plaintiff Syclone IP LLC in mid-April 2020. Syclone IP has asserted that patent in a new complaint filed against Sony (1:20-cv-04941) in the Southern District of New York that calls out the Qnovo Adaptive Charging Battery Care included with the Xperia XZ3 smartphone.
