The patent US7415530, titled "System and methods for accelerated data storage and retrieval," has been involved in extensive litigation, primarily by its assignee, Realtime Data LLC, a known patent assertion entity. Here's a summary of some of the known litigation:
1. Realtime Data LLC v. Reduxio Systems, Inc. (and others)
- Plaintiff(s): Realtime Data LLC
- Defendant(s): Reduxio Systems, Inc., Fortinet, Panzura, Aryaka (among others)
- Jurisdiction: District of Delaware; U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC)
- Filing Date: November 2017 (against Fortinet and Reduxio); August 2018 (against Panzura); December 2018 (against Aryaka)
- Outcome/Status:
- Initially, the District Court of Delaware declared all 159 claims across five patents, including US7415530, ineligible without a formal written opinion, stating that the claims were directed to an abstract idea. Realtime Data LLC appealed.
- The Federal Circuit (Realtime I) vacated and remanded the District Court's decision, requesting a more detailed § 101 analysis.
- On remand, the District Court (Realtime II & III) again found the claims of all eight asserted patents, including US7415530, invalid under § 101 for being directed to an abstract idea.
- The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal in August 2023.
- Realtime Data LLC petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to address the CAFC's decision, arguing the abstract idea exception to Section 101 is amorphous, but the petition was denied in January 2024.

- Defendant(s): Acronis
- Jurisdiction: District of Massachusetts
