HEALTH DISCOVERY CORP 8-K

What Happened
Health Discovery Corp announced on its Jan 21, 2026 Form 8-K that it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against NVIDIA Corporation on December 31, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The suit alleges NVIDIA unlawfully infringed U.S. Patent No. 10,402,685, which covers a Recursive Feature Elimination method using Support Vector Machines to rank and remove less important data features. The company says NVIDIA’s GPU-accelerated machine-learning stack practices at least representative claim 1 of the patent.

Key Details

• Lawsuit filed: December 31, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (reported on Form 8-K filed Jan 21, 2026).
• Patent: U.S. Patent No. 10,402,685 (relates to recursive feature elimination with SVMs); patent expired on or about June 27, 2025.
• Relief sought: damages (including trebled/triple damages for alleged willful infringement) and other legal and equitable relief for the period still allowed by the statute of limitations.
• Allegation: NVIDIA’s GPU-accelerated ML stack infringes at least representative method claim 1 of the ’685 patent.

Why It Matters
This is a legal claim that could lead to monetary damages or other remedies if Health Discovery prevails, but the patent has expired and the company is limited to seeking damages only for the period still permitted by law. There is no dollar amount specified and no assurance on outcome or timing; investors should view this as a legal risk and potential source of future recoveries or costs, depending on how the litigation proceeds.
