QPRC’s Flash Uplink Launches First Litigation

January 24, 2026

On June 15, 2023, publicly traded Quest Patent Research Corporation (QPRC) assigned to its subsidiary Flash Uplink LLC eight patents that it received in the summer of 2022 from HP Enterprise (HPE). Now, the recipient has filed its first case, accusing Lenovo (2:26-cv-00072) of infringing one of those patents, described in the new complaint as related to “updating (reflashing) disk drive firmware in a more automated and less disruptive way”. Targeted is the provision of “computer servers that permit out-of-band (‘OOB’) firmware updates during boot from a local or remote repository, including without limitation the SR Series, ST Series, SD Series, and SE Series ThinkSystem Servers”.
