Google and Amazon Targeted in Patent Suits

2017/03/28

Texas-based Uniloc has taken on Google and Amazon in two patent infringement claims filed in the US.
Uniloc, which has a subsidiary in Texas, filed its lawsuit against Google on March 26 at the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.
The company’s suit against Amazon was filed in the same court Friday, March 24.
Uniloc, which claimed that it owns a number of patents in the text/voice instant messaging field, alleged both companies had infringed three patents.
Google is alleged to have infringed US patent numbers 8,724,622; 8,995,433; and 7,535,890.
Amazon is alleged to have infringed US patent numbers 8,571,194; 7,804,948; and 7,853,000.
The three patents are all called “System and method for initiating a conference call”, and Amazon is claimed to have infringed them through its voice and messaging app Amazon Chime.
Uniloc is seeking a jury trial, damages, costs and expenses, and further relief that the court deems just and proper.
