Truesight Communications LLC v. Walmart, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-01010 (E.D. Tex.), is a patent complaint filed November 6, 2026, in the Marshall Division with a jury demand, against Walmart, Inc. and Shenzhen Tinno Mobile Technology Corp. Truesight Communications LLC is a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business in Marshall, Texas. The complaint describes Walmart, on information and belief, as a Delaware corporation with regular and established places of business in the district, and Shenzhen Tinno, on information and belief, as a Chinese company based in Shenzhen that makes and imports certain Walmart products, including onn-branded Android tablets (paragraphs 2 to 4). The case is assigned to Judge Rodney Gilstrap.

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 Walmart tablets and smart televisions, with the onn 11-inch Core Tablet as the example in each count. Count I asserts at least claim 4 of the '879 patent against content restrictions through Google Family Link and other parental controls (paragraph 26). Count II asserts at least claim 1 of the '803 patent against the tablet with the Netflix mobile application, which the complaint says, on information and belief, comes preloaded in its entirety or as a stub (paragraphs 44 and 45 and footnote 1). Count III asserts at least claim 1 of the '300 patent against chapter navigation in the YouTube mobile application, which the complaint says the tablet includes as part of Google Mobile Services (paragraphs 61 and 62). Count IV asserts at least claim 1 of the '749 patent against the tablet equipped with a UFS 2.2 memory module, which the complaint alleges on information and belief (paragraphs 79 and 80 and footnote 8). These mappings are Truesight's allegations.

The counts

Each count alleges direct infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271, along with induced and contributory infringement.

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.
