Not long after the Supreme Court’s TC Heartland decision came down, Global Interactive Media, Inc. (GIM) and AMC Networks filed a joint stipulation to transfer a case between them from the Northern District of Illinois to the Southern District of New York (1:17-cv-04326). AMC has not yet filed an answer to the complaint GIM filed against it in February 2017, and according to a June 1st filing, the parties are “presently discussing a possible resolution” of the action. AMC is one of only three currently active defendants in GIM’s sole litigation campaign, which was launched in December 2014 and targets audio/video programming providers’ online broadcast listings.

Global Interactive Media, Inc. has filed suit against Axwave (1:16-cv-0666), Liberty Interactive (Sirius XM) (1:16-cv-06867), and WideOpenWest (1:16-cv-06868), bringing the total number of defendants in its sole litigation campaign close to 20. The new complaints assert two patents (6,314,577; 8,032,907) against all three defendants, with the complaints against Sirius XM and WideOpenWest also asserting a third patent (7,574,721). The patents generally relate to requesting and receiving metadata about broadcast programs. Throughout the campaign, begun in December 2014, audio and/or video programming providers have been accused of infringement through online provision of broadcast listings.

Global Interactive Media, Inc. has added three more defendants to its broadcast listings campaign, suing Comcast (1:16-cv-04677), Discovery Communications (1:16-cv-04678), and Yahoo (1:16-cv-04679) in Illinois. Global Interactive has asserted three patents in this campaign (6,314,577; 7,574,721; 8,032,907). The patents generally relate to requesting and receiving metadata about broadcast programs, and audio and/or video programming providers have been accused of infringement through online provision of broadcast listings. All three patents are asserted against Comcast and Discovery, while only the ‘577 and ‘907 patents are asserted against Yahoo.

Belizean NPE Global Interactive Media, Inc. has added another case to its online broadcast listings campaign, filing suit against Entercom Communications (2:16-cv-00060) in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Global Interactive has asserted three patents in this campaign (6,314,577; 7,574,721; 8,032,907). The patents generally relate to requesting and receiving metadata about broadcast programs, and the defendants have been accused of infringement through online provision of broadcast listings. Global Interactive asserts the ‘577 and ‘907 patents against video broadcast companies, while asserting all three against audio broadcast companies.

Global Interactive Media, Inc. has added Time Warner Cable (TWC) to its campaign asserting a group of patents concerning access to broadcast information (1:15-cv-06805). The NPE, which is based in Belize, accuses TWC’s TV Listings service (an online list of broadcast programming based on a user’s service area) of infringement. The patents-in-suit relate to systems and methods for users to request and receive metadata about broadcast programs (6,314,577, 7,574,721, 8,032,907). They were developed by Michael H. Pocock, the sole named inventor on all three patents. Pocock assigned the patents, along with at least five other patents and two applications, to Global Interactive in December 2014.
