The case is Onscreen Dynamics, LLC v. Dover Corporation d/b/a Dover Fueling Solutions and Wayne Fueling Systems LLC d/b/a Dover Fueling Solutions, No. 7:26-cv-00382-DC (W.D. Tex., Midland/Odessa Division), filed September 18, 2026, ECF No. 1 (6 pages). The complaint demands a jury trial. Onscreen Dynamics, a Delaware limited liability company, alleges it is the current owner by assignment of U.S. Patent 9,395,917. The docket shows the case assigned to Judge David Counts under the court's order assigning patent cases.
What the patent covers
U.S. Patent 9,395,917, titled Electronic Display with a Virtual Bezel, issued July 19, 2016; the complaint says a certificate of correction issued October 4, 2016. Claim 1 recites a virtual bezel display screen for an electronic device with a virtual bezel area whose touchscreen layer has a first mode of response to a first set of touch-based inputs and which displays a first portion of content; an active touchscreen region substantially disposed within the virtual bezel area whose touchscreen layer has a second mode of response to that first set of inputs and which displays a second portion of the content; and a gestural software application that produces the first mode of response, which selectively interprets touch-based inputs as intentional user input intended to affect the display of the second portion of the content on the active touchscreen region. (Compl. paras. 15 to 20; U.S. Patent 9,395,917 claim 1.)
What the lawsuit alleges
Onscreen alleges that the defendants have directly infringed and continue to infringe one or more claims of the '917 patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(a) by selling, using, and/or offering for sale the Wayne Ovation fuel dispenser incorporating the DFS Anthem UX platform. It says Exhibit B charts that product against claims 1 and 2; the exhibit is not available. The complaint alleges, on information and belief, that Wayne is a subsidiary of Dover and that the defendants maintain a regular and established place of business for the Dover Fueling Solutions business in Austin, Texas. The single count seeks damages of no less than a reasonable royalty and, to the extent warranted, an injunction. (Compl. paras. 7 to 14, 22 to 26; Prayer.)
