The patent holder, Intent IQ LLC, a subsidiary of AlmondNet, Inc., is an active plaintiff in patent litigation, having asserted its broader portfolio against numerous major technology companies.

  • Status: Active. The complaint alleges that MNTN's digital advertising platform infringes US Patent 11,949,962, alongside U.S. Patent 8,677,398. The core of the dispute centers on allegations that MNTN's platform, which provides cross-device ad targeting and attribution, utilizes the patented methods for measuring ad effectiveness.

Broader Litigation Context for Intent IQ LLC

Intent IQ is a frequent litigant, often asserting patents from the AlmondNet portfolio related to targeted advertising and cross-device tracking. The company has engaged in litigation with major technology firms including Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Roku, and Samsung.

  • Notable Past Litigation: Intent IQ secured a significant jury award from Amazon and has entered into licensing agreements with Meta, Microsoft, Roku, and Samsung, often after initiating litigation.
  • Ongoing Validity Challenges: The validity of Intent IQ's patents is a recurring issue. A case led by Meta and joined by Roku is challenging the patentability of the underlying technology, arguing the concepts are obvious to practitioners in the field. In a separate Inter Partes Review (IPR) brought by Meta, Roku, and Samsung against a related patent, the PTAB upheld the validity of the challenged claims.

Given this history, US Patent 11,949,962 is part of a strategically enforced patent portfolio, and further litigation or administrative challenges involving this patent are possible.
