According to statistics, the week was below average, both in the Patent Appeals and Trials Board (PTAB) and in the district courts.

The claimed patent has already been claimed through Moxchange LLC [associated with IP Edge LLC] in opposition to more than 30 defendants. The patent was granted, along with several other patents, to Encryptawave through Moxchange in February of this year. Encryptawave said in its corporate statement that its parent company is Inferential Capital LLC, a Delaware company established in July last year.

Soon after, Google filed a declaratory judgment action against InfoGation. Corp for the patent claimed. In 2017, InfoGation filed more lawsuits against each of the smartphone maker’s defendants, announcing a second similar patent (which was eventually consolidated with the original registration). The defendants and Google filed intellectual property rights challenging the two patents claimed in 2017. Although the establishment rejected one of the patents, InfoGation sought an adverse ruling related to the second patent in this proceeding. Nearly 3 years after those cases were settled, InfoGation sued Google directly over one of those patents in 2020, which was settled in 2022.
In 2023, InfoGation pivoted and began announcing the surviving patent, along with 3 recently claimed patents, as opposed to automakers, adding BMW, Honda, Toyota, and Ford. This week, Toyota filed two opposing intellectual property rights to two patents of InfoGation Corp. , marking the first PTAB to demand situations contrary to InfoGation’s patents through the defendant automakers.
