Following a settlement with DIRECTV in September, Quantum Stream, Inc. has filed its second infringement suit to date. On November 4, the NPE—which is a subsidiary of FORM Holdings Corp. (f/k/a Vringo, Inc.)—lodged a complaint against Cablevision (including CSC Holdings and Neptune Holdings) (1:16-cv-08604), accusing the company’s digital entertainment systems of infringing three content distribution patents (9,047,626; 9,117,228; 9,349,136). In particular, Quantum is targeting Cablevision’s Optimum brand of services and products, and set-top boxes manufactured by Atlanta Scientific or Samsung, and used in connection with Optimum TV, are referenced in the complaint (although neither company is named as a defendant).

AOL Inc., Google Inc., Target, and others have been ordered to pay I/P Engine supplemental damages and interest totaling more than $18 million. I/P Engine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vringo, Inc. since July 2012, filed suit in September 2011 alleging infringement of two patents related to search engine capabilities (6,775,664, 6,314,420). In November 2012, a jury ruled that all five defendants infringed claims in both the ‘664 and ‘420 patents and awarded I/P Engine a total of $30 million in damages (2:11cv00512). I/P Engine challenged the verdict by filing postjudgment motions with the district court for higher royalty rates and interest, and the presiding judge responded favorably.
