Litigation summary

The patent information provided in the prompt itself contains details about ongoing litigation for US9727655. This is a crucial piece of information that should be prioritized as per the instructions.

From the patent text (Google Patents link for US9727655B2):

• "Family has litigation"
• "First worldwide family litigation filed litigation Critical"
• "US case filed in Delaware District Court litigation"
  • Link: https://portal.unifiedpatents.com/litigation/Delaware%20District%20Court/case/1%3A24-cv-01027
  • Source: District Court

  • Link: https://portal.unifiedpatents.com/ptab/case/IPR2025-01327
  • Petitioner: (Unified Patents PTAB Data licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License)

The search results confirm the existence of these cases and provide additional context about Unified Patents.

Specifically, from the patent text provided:

1. US District Court Case:

   • Jurisdiction: Delaware District Court
   • Case Number: 1:24-cv-01027
   • Filing Date: Not explicitly stated in the patent text snippet, but the case number 1:24-cv-01027 indicates it was filed in 2024. I will need to verify if Unified Patents link provides this.
   • Plaintiff(s): Not explicitly stated in the patent text snippet.
   • Defendant(s): Not explicitly stated in the patent text snippet.
   • Outcome/Status: "litigation" (implies ongoing or recently filed). The link to Unified Patents portal should be able to provide the status and parties.

2. PTAB Case:

   • Jurisdiction: Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)
   • Case Number: IPR2025-01327
   • Filing Date: Not explicitly stated in the patent text snippet, but the case number IPR2025-01327 indicates it was filed in 2025. I will need to verify if Unified Patents link provides this.
   • Petitioner: Unified Patents (as per the patent text, and search result confirms Unified Patents often files IPRs as a petitioner).
   • Patent Owner: THROUGHTEK TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) Co Ltd, THROUGHTEK CO Ltd (from the patent's assignee information).
   • Outcome/Status: "Pending - Instituted" (from the patent text snippet).

The general Google search results about Unified Patents and Darts-ip (search results,,,,,,,,) confirm they are sources for patent litigation and PTAB data. The other Federal Circuit cases (search results,,,,,) are general examples of CAFC cases and do not appear to directly involve US9727655.

I will now try to get more specific information about the Delaware District Court case and the PTAB case using the provided Unified Patents links, if possible through the search results. However, directly accessing and navigating external websites like the Unified Patents portal via the code interpreter is not something I can do in this environment. I can only rely on the snippets provided by the search. The initial patent text is the most direct source of the case numbers and status.

Since I cannot directly click on the links, I will synthesize the information from the initial patent text directly. The prompt clearly states that the patent text is authoritative and to prefer search results if they contradict. In this instance, the patent text itself provides the litigation information. I will present this information.Known litigation involving US patent 9727655 includes:
