In Its First Litigation, Gaea Targets Meta Platforms over the CacheLib Engine

Inventor-controlled Gaea, LLC has filed its inaugural litigation with a complaint against Meta Platforms (4:26-cv-00348) in the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiff asserts four patents broadly directed to content retrieval from a data storage device, with Meta Platforms accused of infringement through the provision of CacheLib, a “proprietary, general-purpose caching and storage engine” that is “deployed in production and powers over 70 internal Meta services/systems”, as well as related software.
