Known Litigation Involving US Patent 7,383,209
Based on a review of patent litigation databases as of April 28, 2026, US Patent 7,383,209, assigned to NM LLC, has been involved in at least one litigation campaign asserted by the original assignee, Neomedia Technologies, Inc.
Details of a known case are as follows:
- Plaintiff: Neomedia Technologies, Inc.
- Defendant: The Kroger Co.
- Jurisdiction: U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado
- Case Number: 1:14-cv-01315
- Filing Date: May 13, 2014
- Status/Outcome: The outcome of this case is not publicly available in the search results.
In addition to this specific case, the search results indicate that the original assignee, Neomedia Technologies, Inc., has been involved in other patent litigation concerning related technologies. For instance, Neomedia filed a lawsuit in 2012 against SpyderLynk, LLC, in the District of Colorado, asserting infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,199,048 and 8,131,597, which are part of the same patent family as the '209 patent. Another suit was filed against Costco Wholesale Corporation in the same district on April 28, 2014, which was closed on November 21, 2014.
Furthermore, patents from this family have faced challenges outside of litigation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed for a reexamination of a related patent, which resulted in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) rejecting all ninety-five claims of that patent in 2008. This action was part of a broader effort by the EFF's Patent Busting Project to challenge patents they deemed overly broad or invalid. Neomedia's litigation against Scanbuy was also put on hold pending the outcome of this reexamination.
