Reinstated GCTI Files Second Round over Its “Pioneering” Search Patent

Global Connect Technology, Inc. (GCTI) has filed separate Eastern District of Texas complaints targeting the ecommerce websites of defendants Anker Innovations (2:25-cv-01207), Canon (2:25-cv-01209), Signify (2:25-cv-01210), and Sony (2:25-cv-01211). At issue is functionality related to filtering search results where multiple filter criteria within multiple categories can be selected. GCTI began this campaign with separate August 2024 complaints in the same district against Best Buy, Christie’s, and Costco. A motion to dismiss one of those cases for lack of standing was mooted this past week by the filing of a second amended complaint.
