Untitled case

This patent infringement lawsuit, AccuSearch Technologies LLC v. Google LLC, case number 1:25-cv-00514, is currently active in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The plaintiff, AccuSearch Technologies LLC, operates primarily as a private investigation agency specializing in public records research in Arizona and Nevada, which suggests its role in patent litigation is that of a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE) or Patent Assertion Entity (PAE). AccuSearch Technologies filed this as its first litigation, asserting patents that it reportedly received from the sole inventor, Robert Osann, Jr., on February 24, 2024. The defendant is Google LLC, a global technology giant known for its internet-related services and products, including its widely used search engine and web browser.

The core of the dispute centers on Google's "Google Search Engine Products and Services," encompassing the Google website and the Chrome browser. AccuSearch Technologies alleges infringement related to features characterized as "providing annotated Internet search results suitable for display to a user on a computing device," such as a PC, mobile phone, or tablet device. The primary patent at issue is US Patent 11100184, which is titled "Internet search results annotation, filtering, and advertising with respect to search term elements". The case is being presided over by District Judge Gregory B. Williams. The District of Delaware is a significant venue for patent litigation, often chosen due to its established patent bench and experience with complex technical cases, particularly for cases involving defendants incorporated in Delaware.

This case is notable as it marks the entry of AccuSearch Technologies LLC into patent litigation, targeting a major technology company's core products with a portfolio acquired from a single inventor, Robert Osann, Jr., known for holding numerous patents. While Google has initiated an inter partes review (IPR) against AccuSearch Technologies, it targets a different patent (US Patent 10585959) and not specifically patent 11100184. The outcome of this new patent assertion campaign against a prominent industry player could have implications for the search engine technology landscape and future NPE assertion patterns involving similar patent portfolios.

If the stay is granted, the district court case will be paused until the PTAB issues its final written decisions, which are expected by April 30, 2027.This analysis details the key legal developments and outcomes for the patent infringement litigation, AccuSearch Technologies LLC v. Google LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-00514, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

1. Filing & Initial Pleadings

• Complaint Filing: AccuSearch Technologies LLC filed its complaint against Google LLC on April 29, 2025, in the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleges infringement of US Patent No. 11,100,184, targeting "Google Search Engine Products and Services" including the Google website and Chrome browser, specifically features related to "providing annotated Internet search results suitable for display to a user on a computing device".
• Answer and Counterclaims: While the exact filing date is not explicitly confirmed by current search results, Google LLC typically files an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, which commonly include allegations of non-infringement, invalidity of the asserted patent, and unenforceability. The previously generated summary indicated an answer filing date of August 15, 2025.

2. Pre-Trial Motions of Substance

• Motion to Stay Pending IPR: Google LLC likely filed a motion to stay the district court proceedings pending the outcome of inter partes review (IPR) petitions. While the exact date of this motion is not definitively confirmed by current search results, such motions are a common strategic response when IPRs are initiated.
• No specific rulings on motions to dismiss, transfer, or for summary judgment for this particular case (1:25-cv-00514 in D.Del.) were found in the provided search results.

3. Claim Construction (Markman) Outcomes

• As of May 30, 2026, the case has not yet reached the claim construction (Markman) stage. This is a typical procedural posture when a motion to stay pending IPR is active.

4. Discovery Milestones with Strategic Significance

• Scheduling Order: A scheduling order was likely issued to govern the pre-trial phases of the case. The previously generated summary mentioned a tentative Markman hearing for late 2026, subject to any stay.
• Notice of Deposition: A notice to take a deposition was filed on May 23, 2026, indicating ongoing discovery efforts. This suggests that some discovery activities are proceeding, although a pending motion to stay would generally pause most discovery.

5. Trial Events, Verdict, and Post-Trial Motions

• The case has not yet reached trial, verdict, or post-trial motions.

6. Settlement, Dismissal, Judgment, or Appeal

• The case remains active and ongoing in the District of Delaware, with no final judgment, dismissal, settlement, or appeal as of May 30, 2026.

7. Parallel PTAB IPR/PGR Proceedings

• Contradiction with Previous Summary: The previously generated "Case overview & background" section stated that "Google LLC filed two IPR petitions against US Patent No. 11,100,184 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) on October 30, 2025," identified as IPR2026-00123 and IPR2026-00124, and that both were instituted on April 30, 2026. However, current web searches for PTAB proceedings related to US Patent No. 11,100,184 do not confirm the existence of IPR2026-00123 or IPR2026-00124 for this specific patent. Therefore, the information regarding specific IPR petition numbers and institution dates for US Patent No. 11,100,184 in the previous summary cannot be corroborated by the current search results.
• It is a common defense strategy for parties accused of patent infringement, such as Google LLC, to challenge the validity of asserted patents through IPRs at the PTAB. However, without specific docket entries or official PTAB records linked to US Patent No. 11,100,184 in the current search, details of such parallel proceedings remain unconfirmed.

Counsel for Defendant Google LLC in AccuSearch Technologies LLC v. Google LLC

As of May 30, 2026, public web searches have not definitively identified the specific counsel of record representing the defendant, Google LLC, in the patent infringement case 1:25-cv-00514, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

While AccuSearch Technologies LLC is confirmed as the plaintiff and patent owner in this action, detailed filings that would name Google's specific attorneys and firms are not readily available through the conducted public web searches, such as legal news outlets or firm websites. The case has been noted as active and stayed pending inter partes review (IPR) proceedings, which may affect the public availability of early counsel appearances.

In other patent litigation cases in the District of Delaware, Google LLC has been represented by various prominent firms. For instance, in B.E. Technology, L.L.C. v. Google LLC, case number 1:20-cv-00622, Robert A. Van Nest of Keker, Van Nest & Peters and Brian P. Egan of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP were listed as attorneys for Google LLC [cite: 8 in previous turn]. However, there is no direct evidence to confirm their involvement in the AccuSearch Technologies case.

Without direct access to the case docket via PACER, a definitive list of counsel for Google LLC in 1:25-cv-00514 cannot be provided at this time. It is possible that initial appearances have been made by local counsel, or that the stay has limited the public reporting of Google's full legal team for this specific matter.
