While the official docket and detailed filings remain limited, Encryptawave has a pattern of filing similar patent suits against major technology and imaging companies. At the center of these disputes is often U.S. Patent No. 7,233,664, which covers methods for secure wireless communication—technology applicable to multifunction printers, copiers, and enterprise networking devices.
Ricoh USA, a subsidiary of Japan-based Ricoh Company, Ltd., develops a wide range of office automation and imaging products, many of which feature wireless communication capabilities. If found to infringe, the company could face demands for licensing fees or damages.
Encryptawave’s legal actions are typically part of a broader strategy involving multiple defendants, and the entity is managed by Inferential Capital LLC, a firm associated with monetizing intellectual property portfolios through litigation. As of now, the case is in early stages, with further developments expected as Ricoh responds to the allegations.
