A new civil case, Thomas v. NETRITION INC. D/B/A PATCHAID, has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, bearing case number 3:26-cv-01390. The complaint, filed on February 17, 2026, alleges violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The filing includes the initial complaint, proposed summons, certificate of interested entities, consent/declination to proceed before a US Magistrate Judge, and a civil cover sheet. The filing fee was $405.

This filing initiates a lawsuit under the TCPA, which regulates telemarketing and unsolicited communications. Companies engaging in such practices should be aware of potential litigation. While this is an individual filing and does not set a new regulatory precedent, it highlights ongoing enforcement and litigation risks associated with TCPA non-compliance. No specific compliance actions are required for entities not involved in this case, but it serves as a reminder to review current telemarketing practices against TCPA requirements.
