Things continue to progress slowly on the Lodsys front. At this time all of the declaratory judgment actions brought in the Northern District of Illnois against Lodsys have been closed, with several of them having transferred to the Eastern District of Wisconsin. In addition, DriveTime has dismissed its declaratory judgment action against Lodsys in Arizona.
With those changes all of the pending cases are now in either the Eastern District of Texas (the infringement actions brought by Lodsys) or the Eastern District of Wisconsin (the declaratory judgment actions brought against Lodsys) with the one outlier being the declaratory judgment action brought by ESET against Lodsys in the Southern District of California.
There has not been a great deal of action in any of the active cases, but there are a few items of interest. Specifically, the court has dismissed the claims asserted by Lodsys against the New York Times (Lodsys v. DriveTime - 49 [PDF; text]) without prejudice and OpinionLabs (Lodsys v. DriveTime - 50 [PDF; text]) with prejudice in the Lodsys v. DriveTime action in Texas.
