Summary
An ongoing case in the Nevada District Court, identified by docket number 3:25-cv-00239, for which specific plaintiff and defendant names are not provided.
Case overview & background
Plain-language overview of the case: parties, accused product, patents at issue, and why the suit matters.
This patent infringement litigation, case number 3:25-cv-00239, is an ongoing matter in the Nevada District Court. Due to the common reuse of case numbers across different federal districts and the proprietary nature of some legal databases, readily available public information regarding the specific parties, the accused product, and whether the provided patent (11905895) is definitively asserted in this particular Nevada case is limited. Some search results indicate that a "MWE case" related to patents, including U.S. Patent No. 10,393,034, is pending under case number 3:25-cv-00239 in the District of Nevada, but do not explicitly link it to patent 11905895. Other cases with the same number in different districts, such as "Rodriguez v. Neal et al" in the Eastern District of Virginia or "National Council of Nonprofits v. OMB" in the District of D.C., are civil actions unrelated to patent law.
Based on the patent number provided (U.S. Patent No. 11,905,895), a technical sketch reveals it is titled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURE DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS". The patent generally describes a system and method designed to securely manage and analyze data, potentially involving aspects of data processing, encryption, and access control. Without access to the specific complaint for the Nevada case 3:25-cv-00239, the precise accused product, service, or technology remains unconfirmed. However, given the general nature of data management and analysis, the accused technology could broadly relate to any system or service that handles and processes data in a secure manner.
The procedural posture places this case in the District of Nevada, for which specific judge assignments for this particular patent case are not publicly identifiable through current searches. The case's notability, if it involves a non-practicing entity (NPE) or patent assertion entity (PAE), would stem from the ongoing trend of NPEs asserting patents against operating companies across various industries. While "VDPP, LLC" has been identified as a PAE in other patent litigations concerning 3D display technology, its direct involvement in this specific Nevada case number with patent 11905895 is not confirmed by public sources. The mention of related IPRs in connection with the "MWE case" suggests that the asserted patents are facing validity challenges at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), a common occurrence in modern patent litigation and a factor that often influences case strategy and outcomes.

Plaintiff representatives
Counsel of record for the plaintiff(s): attorneys, firms, and roles (lead counsel, of counsel, local counsel).
I am unable to identify the counsel of record representing the plaintiff(s) for the case 3:25-cv-00239 in the Nevada District Court as a patent infringement case involving patent 11905895.
My web searches for case number 3:25-cv-00239 consistently show this case number associated with different district courts and non-patent matters. For instance, a case with this number is identified in the District of Columbia District Court as "NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NONPROFITS et al v. OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT...". Another instance points to "Moore v. Arvato USA LLC" in the Western District of Kentucky, and "Frys Holdings LLC v. Asa et al" in the Oregon U.S. District Court. There is also a criminal case, "United States v. John Edmonds," with a similar, but not identical, number (3:18-cr-00239) in the District of Connecticut, and the year is different.
Without direct access to the PACER docket for this specific case (a patent infringement case, 3:25-cv-00239, in the Nevada District Court, involving patent 11905895), I cannot verify its existence as described or identify the appearing counsel. Publicly available search results do not confirm a patent infringement case with these precise details. Therefore, I cannot provide names, roles, firms, office locations, or experience notes for attorneys representing the plaintiff(s).
Defendant representatives
Counsel of record for the defendant(s): attorneys, firms, and roles (lead counsel, of counsel, local counsel).
Unfortunately, I am unable to identify the specific counsel of record for the defendant(s) in case 3:25-cv-00239 in the Nevada District Court.
While search results confirm that "the MWE case," a patent case, is pending in the District of Nevada under case number 3:25-cv-00239 before Judge Traum, and involves "ten patent", the full caption (Plaintiff v. Defendant) and the specific defendant(s) names are not publicly available through web search snippets. Without the defendant's name, it is not possible to identify their counsel of record, their firm, or their litigation experience.
Access to detailed docket information, including parties and appearing counsel, is typically available through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system. However, direct access to the docket for this specific case via web search is not available.
