Oceana Innovations LLC, a plaintiff associated with Texas monetization firm Endpoint IP LLC, has added a Northern District of Texas case against JVC Kenwood (3:20-cv-01613) to the litigation campaign that it began by suing first Roku and then Charter Communications in the Western District of Texas last month. The defendants are accused of infringement through the provision of devices with an HDMI Type-A connector and cable, the new complaints naming the DLA-NX9 projector. The sole asserted patent generally relates to a particular electrical connector assembly, has seen previous litigation by a different plaintiff, and is the subject of a curious transfer of rights dated in mid-April 2020.

Yet another NPE associated with Texas monetization firm Endpoint IP LLC has initiated new litigation, Oceana Innovations LLC having filed suit against Roku (6:20-cv-00399) in the Western District of Texas this past week. The patent-in-suit, however, has been asserted before, by Interface Linx, LLC, an NPE associated with Brian Yates, in a relatively uneventful campaign running between April 2017 and June 2019. The patent generally relates to a particular electrical connector assembly, with infringement allegations against Roku targeting devices with an HDMI Type A connector and cable, identifying as an example of such a device the Roku Express.
