Litigation summary

The patent text for US11763316B2 explicitly mentions several litigation cases, and the search results provide further details and confirmation.

Here's a summary of known litigation involving US patent 11763316:

1. PTAB Inter Partes Review (IPR)

• Case Number: IPR2025-01061 [cite: Original Patent Text]
• Plaintiff(s): Unified Patents (Petitioner) [cite: Original Patent Text, 2]
• Defendant(s): Distefano Website Innovations, LLC (Patent Owner) [cite: Original Patent Text, 2]
• Jurisdiction: Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)
• Filing Date: Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets, but the status indicates it was "filed (Pending - Instituted)" [cite: Original Patent Text]. Unified Patents announced a PATROLL contest seeking prior art on at least claim 1 of the patent, implying an ongoing challenge.

2. District Court Litigation: Texas Eastern District Court

• Case Number: 2:24-cv-00874 [cite: Original Patent Text, 3]

• Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas [cite: Original Patent Text, 3]

• Filing Date: October 29, 2024.

• Outcome/Current Status: This case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

  Note: There are other cases with similar numbers (e.g., Pauly et al v. Hartford Insurance Company of the Midwest, No. 2:2024cv00874 in the Middle District of Florida and Jacobs v. Seattle Children's Hospital (2:24-cv-00874) in the Washington Western District Court), but based on the plaintiff and defendant, the one against ByteDance is the relevant litigation for US11763316.

3. District Court Litigation: California Northern District Court (Transferred Case)

• Case Number: 3:2025cv10578 [cite: Original Patent Text, 4]
• Plaintiff(s): DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC
• Defendant(s): Bytedance Ltd, ByteDance Pte. Ltd., Tik Tok Ltd. and HELIOPHILIA PTE. LTD.
• Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California [cite: Original Patent Text, 4]
• Filing Date: December 10, 2025.
• Outcome/Current Status: This case was transferred in from the Eastern District of Texas (case 2:24-cv-00874). An Initial Case Management Conference is set for March 11, 2026.

4. District Court Litigation: Texas Western District Court

• Case Number: 1:24-cv-00763 [cite: Original Patent Text]
• Plaintiff(s): Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets.
• Defendant(s): Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets.
• Jurisdiction: Texas Western District Court [cite: Original Patent Text]
• Filing Date: Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets.
• Outcome/Current Status: The original patent text only states "US case filed in Texas Western District Court". The search results for 1:24-cv-00763 show cases like STEELE v. CHOPRA in the District of Columbia and EEOC v. Cinergy Entertainment Group, Inc. in the Western District of North Carolina, which are clearly not related to patent 11763316. Therefore, I do not have sufficient information to provide details for a patent litigation case with this number and jurisdiction directly tied to US11763316.

5. District Court Litigation: California Northern District Court (Different Case Number from the transferred one)

• Case Number: 5:25-cv-10578 [cite: Original Patent Text]
• Plaintiff(s): Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets.
• Defendant(s): Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets.
• Jurisdiction: California Northern District Court [cite: Original Patent Text]
• Filing Date: Not explicitly stated in the provided snippets.
• Outcome/Current Status: The original patent text only states "US case filed in California Northern District Court". The search results for 5:25-cv-10578 show a case related to cataract surgery in the Eastern District of Michigan and another unrelated case Monteferrante v. Williams-Sonoma in the Massachusetts District Court, or a series of "Doe MC" cases also in the Eastern District of Michigan. I do not have sufficient information to provide details for a patent litigation case with this number and jurisdiction directly tied to US11763316.
