Dr. Edwin A. Hernandez maintains a patent assertion posture, exclusively appearing as a plaintiff in all three tracked cases. These lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on April 2, 2024. The consistent plaintiff role strongly indicates that Dr. Hernandez, often acting through EGLA CORP, is an entity actively asserting its intellectual property rights.
The notable cases involve Dr. Edwin A. Hernandez and EGLA CORP suing Stingray Group Inc. (f/k/a Stingray Digital Group, Inc.), Mood Media LLC, and other defendants for alleged trade secret theft, fraud, and patent infringement. The lawsuits claim that Stingray misappropriated Dr. Hernandez's proprietary technology, specifically the UbiquiCAST software, relating to music distribution, following Mood Media's acquisition by Stingray in 2014. Stingray Group has responded by filing Inter Partes Reviews (IPRs) against Dr. Hernandez's asserted patents. The trial for breach of contract and trade secret counts in these cases is currently set for March 2026, with patent claims stayed.
