On Tuesday, M2M Solutions LLC sued Amazon.com in the District of Delaware for alleged infringement of a patent pertaining to the defendant’s consumer services platform called Whispernet. The allegedly infringing product provides technology-based services to users of consumer device assets including Kindle e-reader devices, Fire tablets running preloaded Kindle reading applications software, and other non-Amazon smart phones, tablets, and computers running Kindle software.
The patent in suit is U.S. Patent No. 10,791,442 (the ’442 Patent), entitled “System And Method For Remote Asset Management.” This patent is part of M2M Solutions’ Remote Asset Management patent family, which comprises a series of seminal patents covering wireless machine-to-machine communications systems. The wireless M2M systems have generally involved a process in which various types of electronic technical equipment wirelessly connected to communications networks have been monitored, and to varying degrees managed, by remote computer server platforms.
