Malikie Hits Two More, Pictiva Secures Consolidation, Valtrus Seeks Sanctions
New Patent Litigation, TPLF
Coplaintiffs Malikie Innovations Limited (as “the successor-in-interest to a substantial patent portfolio created and procured over many years by [BlackBerry]”) and Key Patent Innovations Limited (KPI, as “the beneficiary of a trust pursuant to which Malikie owns, holds, and asserts the Asserted Patents”) have sued Match Group (3:25-cv-00381) in the Northern District of Texas and Vantiva (2:25-cv-00163) in the Eastern District of Texas. After first D-Link exited this campaign in December 2024 in light of an earlier noticed settlement and then the cases against both Acer (with prejudice) and Sophos (without prejudice) were dismissed in 2025, this litigation remains active as to ASUSTek and Nintendo—and now Match Group and Vantiva.

KPI Files a Round of Second Complaints
New Patent Litigation
Pictiva Displays International Limited (f/k/a Dolya Holdco 5 Limited) has filed a new Eastern District of Texas case against Samsung (2:24-cv-00532) asserting the same two former OSRAM patents appearing in the original complaint that it filed against Samsung last October, as well as the four patents that it added through its March 2024 amended complaint in that existing case. This time, Pictiva Displays has a coplaintiff, its parent, Irish monetization firm Key Patent Innovations Limited (KPI), described in the new complaint as “the beneficiary of a trust pursuant to which Pictiva owns, holds, and asserts the Asserted Patents”. The coplaintiffs plead that they “bring this complaint in an abundance of caution because another defendant has challenged KPI’s similarly-situated subsidiary Valtrus Innovations Limited’s standing to assert patents in its own portfolio”.

KPI’s Pictiva Sues Samsung over Former OSRAM Patents
New Patent Litigation
The public website of Key Patent Innovations Limited (KPI) advertises three portfolios, one held by each of Malikie Innovations Limited (former BlackBerry patents), Pictiva Displays International Limited (former OSRAM patents), and Valtrus Innovations Limited (former HP Enterprise (HPE) patents). Valtrus has been litigating its portfolio since early 2022, Malikie has yet to litigate the patents that it received earlier this year, and now, with a new Eastern District of Texas suit against Samsung (2:23-cv-00495), Pictiva has turned to US courts.
