Sunflower Licensing LLC v. Mercer (US), Inc., Civil Action No. 1-99-cv-ga640 (N.D. Ga., Nov. 30, 2022)

Sunflower Licensing LLC filed a patent infringement claim against Mercer (US), Inc., in the Northern District on November 30. The complaint alleges the Defendant infringes two patents claiming a method or apparatus for decoding audio or video frame data. The complaint notably fails to identify the accused products or map the products to exemplary claims as patent owners asserting infringement have typically done since the Iqbal/Twombly decisions and the abrogation of Form 18.

The case has been assigned to Judge Thomas W. Thrash, Jr.
