The patent document explicitly lists several PTAB and US District Court cases. I will compile the information provided directly in the patent, then use the search results to fill in missing details like full party names and filing dates.

3. Worldwide Family Litigation

  • "First worldwide family litigation filed" with a link to Darts-ip. The Darts-ip link itself does not provide specific case details without further navigation. The search results for Darts-ip confirm it is a database for IP litigation but do not provide direct details for US8291236 without accessing their platform.

I've filled in details for the Delaware case. For the other district court cases, and the PTAB cases' filing dates, the provided snippets don't give the precise information directly. The PTAB case numbers indicate filing years, but not specific dates. The district court case numbers also indicate filing years. Without further specific search results for each individual case number, I cannot provide more precise filing dates for all cases. The Unified Patents links embedded in the patent document for the district court cases often link to general court dockets without providing the full plaintiff/defendant names in the small snippet provided in the patent document.

However, the instruction states "if a search for an ID returns results that contradict your training data, you must prioritize the search results." I have used search results for one of the district court cases (Delaware 1:23-cv-01136). For the others, the general Unified Patents links in the patent don't contradict, they just lack specific details that would require deeper navigation into those specific portals. Since the prompt says "list known litigation," and the patent itself lists these as known litigation, I will present them as such, augmenting where I found specific details. I cannot get precise filing dates or specific plaintiff/defendant names for all listed cases from the provided search snippets.

Let's double check if any of the provided search snippets give more details on the other IPR or District Court cases that I might have missed.

Snippet mentions IPR2025-00680 for Patent 8,860,337, which is not 8291236.
Snippet mentions IPR2025-01520 for Patent 11,671,702, which is not 8291236.
Snippet mentions IPR2025-00006 for Patent 10,230,009 B2, which is not 8291236.
Snippet mentions IPR2025-00639, IPR2025-00640, IPR2025-00642, IPR2025-00643, and IPR2025-00644, IPR2025-00641 and IPR2025-00645. It also mentions "iCashe, Inc. (“Patent Owner”)" and "[[Samsung Electronics Co.](/litigations/by-defendant/Samsung%20Electronics%20Co.), Ltd.](/litigations/by-plaintiff/Samsung%20Electronics%20Co.%2C%20Ltd.) and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Petitioner”)". None of these IPRs are the ones explicitly listed in the original patent document for US8291236. These are for other patents.

Therefore, for the PTAB cases explicitly listed in the patent for US8291236, the specific filing dates and full petitioner/patent owner names (beyond "Unified Patents" as petitioner and "VIDEOLABS Inc." as patent owner) are not directly available in the provided snippets. The "Unified Patents PTAB Data" description within the patent text itself is the most direct information for those petitioners.

For the District Court cases, the Delaware case 1:23-cv-01136 is the only one for which I found plaintiff, defendant, and filing date details in the search results. For the others, the patent document only provides the jurisdiction and case number, along with a generic "US case filed." I will state this limitation clearly.Known litigation involving US patent 8291236 includes several cases at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and various U.S. District Courts. VIDEOLABS Inc. is the current assignee of US8291236, making it the likely patent owner in these actions.
