Truesight Sues BLU Over Digital Media Features on Four Patents.

Truesight Communications LLC v. BLU Products, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-01006 (E.D. Tex.), is a patent complaint filed November 6, 2026, in the Marshall Division with a jury demand. Truesight Communications LLC is a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business in Marshall, Texas. The complaint describes BLU Products, Inc., on information and belief, as a Florida corporation based in Doral, Florida (paragraph 2). It alleges that BLU sells and delivers its phones in the district, including through authorized sellers and sales representatives, and it pleads venue under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(c) and 1400(b) (paragraphs 3 and 11).

The patents and accused products

The complaint asserts four patents that Truesight says it owns: U.S. Patent 8,949,879, titled Access Controls for Known Content, issued February 3, 2015; U.S. Patent 8,898,803, titled Content and Identity Delivery System for Portable Playback of Content and Streaming Service Integration, issued November 25, 2014; U.S. Patent 9,595,300, titled Contextual Chapter Navigation, issued March 14, 2017; and U.S. Patent 8,745,749, titled Virtual Secure Digital Card, issued June 3, 2014. The USPTO copies of the patents list the same titles and issue dates.

The accused products are BLU smartphones such as the BLU F5, together with a long list of other BLU models the complaint identifies as the Accused Products (paragraph 18). Count I walks through at least claim 4 of the '879 patent using Google Family Link content restrictions on the BLU F5 as an example of rating-based media access policies, with a parent setting different rating-based permissions for two viewers who each have their own login (paragraphs 26 to 33). Count II asserts at least claim 1 of the '803 patent against the BLU F5 with the Netflix mobile application, which the complaint says, on information and belief, comes preloaded on the accused products in its entirety or as a stub, alleging that streamed content can be downloaded and saved to the phone's SD card or equivalent internal storage along with the user's streaming account information (paragraphs 44 to 49). Count III asserts at least claim 1 of the '300 patent against chapter navigation in the YouTube mobile application, which the complaint says the BLU F5 includes as part of Google Mobile Services (paragraphs 61 to 67). Count IV asserts at least claim 1 of the '749 patent against the BLU F5 equipped with a UFS 2.2 memory module (the complaint alleges, on information and belief, that the BLU F5's internal storage is UFS 2.2), which it says generates a virtual secure digital card by reading and storing media key blocks and media identification and by creating separate file systems for secure data and user data (paragraphs 80 to 84). These mappings are Truesight's allegations.

The counts

Each count alleges direct infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271, induced infringement, and contributory infringement under § 271(c). Truesight alleges, on information and belief, that BLU's direct infringement includes testing, development, troubleshooting, and other use in the United States (paragraphs 34, 50, 68, and 85). It pleads knowledge at least as of the date of the complaint and, in the alternative, alleges on information and belief that BLU was willfully blind through a policy of not reviewing the patents of others (paragraphs 36, 52, 70, and 87). For inducement, it points to user manuals and other instructional materials that, on information and belief, BLU prepares or directs (paragraphs 37 and 38, 53 and 54, 71 and 72, and 88 and 89).

The prayer asks for a judgment of infringement, a permanent injunction under 35 U.S.C. § 283, damages of at least a reasonable royalty with interest and costs, a finding that the case is exceptional with attorneys' fees under § 285, and further relief. Truesight demands a jury trial.

Docket

The docket through November 6, 2026, lists the complaint, the patent/trademark form, a disclosure statement, notices of attorney appearance, a summons request, summons issued, a clerk's new-suit notice, and an assignment minute entry. The same day, Truesight filed Nos. 2:26-cv-01004, 2:26-cv-01005, 2:26-cv-01007, 2:26-cv-01008, 2:26-cv-01010, and 2:26-cv-01012 (E.D. Tex.), whose complaints assert the same four patents. Truesight also litigated the same four patents in No. 2:23-cv-00643 (E.D. Tex.), which the court dismissed on October 29, 2025. Watch for the docket to name the assigned judge, for service on BLU Products, Inc., and for its answer or Rule 12 motion. The case can end at any time, including by settlement or voluntary dismissal.
