The Rockstar Consortium that acquired Nortel Networks’ patents filed Thursday patent infringement suits against Google, Samsung, HTC, and five other companies.
In a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, Rockstar and subsidiary NetStar Technologies alleged that Google infringed seven of the patents acquired from Nortel.
The patents, all titled “Associative Search Engine,” relate to an invention used to provide advertisements based on users’ search terms.
Backed by Microsoft, Apple, RIM, Ericsson and Sony, Rockstar acquired Nortel’s patents for $4.5 billion after outbidding Google in 2011. Backed by Microsoft, Apple, RIM, Ericsson and Sony, Rockstar acquired Nortel’s patents for $4.5 billion after outbidding Google in 2011.
