“We’re not taking the approach of having ridiculous demands and assuming there will be litigation,” Desmarais (pictured here) told Bloomberg in June, when his eight-attorney law firm firm, Desmarais LLP, officially opened for business. “I think our approach will be a lot more reasonable.”
But there will be litigation. On Friday, Desmarais LLP filed what appears to be the first federal lawsuit on behalf of Desmarais’s patent-holding company, Round Rock Research, according to court records. The suit, filed in federal court in Delaware, accuses the mobile phone giant HTC of infringing on several Round Rock patents for memory chip technology, directory assistance capability, image chips and other smart phone gadgets. The suit says HTC has deployed the infringed upon technology in several popular products, including the Google Nexus One, the HTC HD2 smart phone and the Droid ERIS, an HTC smartphone that uses the Google Android system. Google was not named in the suit.
