• IPVal Initiates "5G IP" Campaign, Suing Samsung Over Former FG Innovati

    From Moderator@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 3 04:19:02 2021
    As anticipated, Texas NPE 5G IP Holdings LLC, an entity associated
    with monetization firm IPValuation Partners LLC (d/b/a IPVal), has
    filed its first lawsuit over a portfolio of former FG Innovation
    Company Ltd. (f/k/a FG IP Innovation Company Ltd.) (FGI) patents. The
    NPE accuses Samsung (4:21-cv-00622) of infringing three of them,
    pleading that the wireless communications patents have been declared
    essential to the 5G Standard, the "promise" of which - "increased
    bandwidth and lowered latency" - FGI's technology purportedly helped
    to "deliver". The accused products are Samsung's smartphones and
    tablets, the new complaint identifying a list of Galaxy-branded
    products.

    Maybe one should point out that "NPE" is polite lawyer-speak for
    "patent troll". The initialism stands for "non-practicing entity" --
    i.e., a business that does not actually use the patents it owns
    outside of the courtroom. The federal courts in Texas are notoriously solicitous of patent claims, so there is an incentive for patent
    trolls to be based there.
