I came across the following complaint filed by TPL last August and was wondering if this tactic of filing 337 actions may be something that will be applied to the MMP in the future?
Technology Properties Limited LLC ("TPL") filed a Complaint concerning Certain Digital Photo Frames and Image Display Devices and Components Thereof, which asserts four patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,976,623, 7,162,549, 7,295,443, and 7,522,424). TPL alleges a violation of Section 337 by proposed Respondents Action Electronics Co., Ltd., Taiwan; Aiptek International Inc., Taiwan; Aluratek Inc., Tustin, California; Audiovox Corporation, Happauge, New York; CEIVA Logic, Burbank, California; Circus World Displays Ltd., Canada; Coby Electronics Corporation, Lake Success, New York; Curtis International Ltd., Canada; Digital Spectrum Solutions Inc., Irvine, California; Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, New York; Mustek Systems, Inc., Taiwan; Nextar Inc., La Verne, California; Pandigital, Dublin, California; Royal Consumer Information Products Inc., Somerset, New Jersey; Sony Corporation, Japan; Transcend Information Inc., Taiwan; ViewSonic Corporation, Walnut, California; Win Accord Ltd., Taiwan; and WinAccord USA Inc., San Jose, California.
