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.

A second of the new IP Edge LLC campaigns begun at the end of June concerns two patents from a family of three, generally related to drawing connections between “geographic locations” and also received from Empire Technology Development LLC, this time by plaintiff Boxey Tech LLC in mid-April 2020. Boxey Tech has asserted those two patents in a new Western District of Texas complaint filed against Lyft (6:20-cv-00567), targeting the Lyft Driver app.
