Case over Former Empire Technology Development Patents, Received from IP Edge-Linked Entity, Ends Days Before Jury Trial

Three years after scrutiny from Delaware Chief Judge Colm F. Connolly put a halt to the filing pattern of a web of plaintiffs tied to Texas monetization firm IP Edge LLC, those plaintiffs—at least according to available USPTO assignment records—still hold a large number of US patents. While most of those assets have apparently been sitting still, one such family was divested in late 2023 to unrelated Texas entity Secure Wi-Fi LLC, which did something unremarkable by filing suit over its received assets almost immediately and which came within days of doing something remarkable, at least judged against years of IP Edge patterns and practices, by trying infringement claims over that family to an actual jury.
