This page is the campaign hub for patent suits by Truesight Communications LLC, which its November 2026 complaints describe as a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business in Marshall, Texas. Each suit in the table below is in the Marshall Division of the Eastern District of Texas, and each concerns the same four patents. A related suit against Apple Inc. in the Western District of Texas asserts those four patents and a fifth.
The four patents
The patents are U.S. Patent 8,949,879, "Access Controls for Known Content," issued February 3, 2015; U.S. Patent 8,898,803, "Content and Identity Delivery System for Portable Playback of Content and Streaming Service Integration," issued November 25, 2014; U.S. Patent 9,595,300, "Contextual Chapter Navigation," issued March 14, 2017; and U.S. Patent 8,745,749, "Virtual Secure Digital Card," issued June 3, 2014. The USPTO copies of the patents list those titles and issue dates. The Google complaint says Truesight is the sole and exclusive owner of all four (paragraph 84).
The Samsung case
Truesight Communications LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., No. 2:23-cv-00643 (E.D. Tex.), was filed December 29, 2023, against Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. The docket record lists District Judge Rodney Gilstrap as the assigned judge. Before the case settled, the Samsung defendants filed under seal, on July 7, 2025, motions for summary judgment of non-infringement as to the '879 and '300 patents and motions for partial summary judgment directed to the '749 and '803 patents, and both sides filed sealed motions in limine on August 11, 2025. A joint motion to stay all pending deadlines and notice of settlement was filed August 21, 2025, and the court entered an order dismissing the case on October 29, 2025. In a second suit against the same two Samsung defendants, Truesight Communications LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., No. 2:25-cv-00759 (E.D. Tex.), filed August 1, 2025, in the Marshall Division, Truesight asserted only U.S. Patent 8,977,783, "High-Speed Secure Content Transfer to SD Card from Kiosk," at least claim 12; the court entered an order dismissing the case on October 22, 2025, after a notice of voluntary dismissal filed October 21, 2025.
The Google complaint alleges, on information and belief, that Google learned of the '879, '803, and '749 patents on or about December 29, 2023, with the filing of the Samsung complaint, and of the '300 patent through a citation to the '300 patent family in connection with Google's own patent application or, alternatively, through the Samsung complaint. It says the Samsung complaint accused Google's Family Link application and other parental controls under the '879 patent, Android-based devices under the '803 and '749 patents, and Google's YouTube application under the '300 patent. It says Google was subpoenaed in that case and provided discovery. Google was not a party to No. 2:23-cv-00643. In the alternative, for the '879 and '300 patents only, the Google complaint alleges that Google learned of each patent between December 20, 2023, and December 17, 2024, when Google filed petitions for inter partes review, IPR2025-00025 (the '879 patent) and IPR2025-00024 (the '300 patent) (footnotes 51 and 59). The Samsung case allegations appear in footnotes 51, 53, 59, and 62.
The November 2026 suits
On November 6, 2026, Truesight filed seven complaints, each pleading four counts, one for each patent, and each asserting at least claim 4 of the '879 patent and at least claim 1 of the '803, '300, and '749 patents. Truesight Communications LLC v. Google LLC, No. 2:26-cv-01004, uses the Google Pixel 11 with Google Family Link, Google TV, and the YouTube mobile application as its examples.

A related suit against Apple in the Western District of Texas
Truesight Communications LLC v. Apple Inc., No. 7:25-cv-00462 (W.D. Tex.), was filed October 10, 2025, in the Midland-Odessa Division with a jury demand. That complaint describes Truesight as a Texas limited liability company with a place of business in Waco, Texas. It pleads five counts, one for each patent, asserting at least claim 4 of the '879 patent, claim 1 of the '803 and '300 patents, claim 22 of the '749 patent, and claim 12 of a fifth patent, U.S. Patent 8,977,783, "High-Speed Secure Content Transfer to SD Card from Kiosk," which the USPTO copy shows issued March 10, 2015. The complaint accuses Apple smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions, listing iPhone models from the iPhone 11 through the iPhone 17 Pro Max, including the iPhone SE, iPhone 16e, and iPhone Air, along with iPad, Mac, and Apple TV models. Its counts use Family Sharing parental controls for the '879 patent, the Apple TV application or service for the '803 patent, the YouTube mobile application for the '300 patent, and, for the '749 and '783 patents, the iPhone 16 Pro with its NAND flash memory and Secure Enclave as the example. These mappings are Truesight's allegations. The docket shows an order on a motion to transfer the case entered March 24, 2026 (entry 34); that order is not available. On March 27, 2026, a docket for No. 1:26-cv-00744 (W.D. Tex.), under the same caption, opened with an entry for a case transferred in by divisional transfer. Filings have continued on the No. 7:25-cv-00462 docket, including a claim construction brief on August 27, 2026, a brief on November 3, 2026, and a claim construction brief on November 6, 2026.
