In late-August, Fleet Connect Solutions LLC (FCS)—a plaintiff associated with Texas monetization firm Empire IP LLC—added a suit against Rivian Automotive (6:23-cv-00623) in the Western District of Texas. The ten asserted patents are broadly directed to various aspects of automobile and wireless communications technologies, with the defendant accused of infringement through the provision of automobiles that incorporate Rivian FleetOS, the Rivian Vehicle Care System, Driver+, Rivian Cloud, and/or Rivian’s mobile apps. At issue are features related to wireless communications (i.e., Bluetooth, IEE 802.11ac/b/n, and LTE). Since launching its sole litigation campaign in December 2020, FCS has sued nearly 25 defendants and asserted overlapping subsets of 27 patents received from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV).
