Company overview. ABC Marketing, Inc. (commonly "ABC Marketing") is a privately held distributor and manufacturer's representative headquartered at 4800 Eastland Drive, Elkhart, Indiana. Founded in 1983 by Dave Miller and still run by the Miller family (president Ben Miller), it operates two warehouses in the Elkhart area and has roughly 6–10 employees. Private directories estimate annual revenue in the low-to-mid single-digit millions (e.g., Manta ~$5–10M, Kona Equity ~$3.9M); these are third-party estimates, not company disclosures.
Products / operations. ABC is a dual-function distributor/rep serving OEM recreational-vehicle, specialty-vehicle, and cargo-trailer manufacturers — Elkhart being the heart of the U.S. RV industry. Its lines include LED and automotive lighting, lithium-ion house batteries (e.g., RELiON), inverter chargers, gas springs, CO/propane safety alarms (RVSafe), retractable door systems, bike racks, custom aluminum wheels, and 12V electrical and hardware products. Import records show it has been a substantial importer of lighting and electrical goods from China and Taiwan since 2012, and it holds a pending U.S. patent application (published October 2025). Note: an unrelated, identically named print/advertising firm exists; the Elkhart RV-parts company matches the case venue.
Patent-litigation posture. ABC Marketing is an operating company, not an NPE. It appears in only one tracked case, as defendant (1 case, 0 as plaintiff): Sigma Switches Plus, Inc. v. ABC Marketing, Inc., filed October 28, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana — its home district, not a plaintiff-friendly patent venue like E.D. Tex.
Notable case/context. The plaintiff, Sigma Switches Plus, Inc., is also an Elkhart-based, family-owned maker/distributor of rocker and specialty switches for appliance, marine, and RV markets. The suit is therefore a dispute between two local RV-supply operating companies over switch-related products/technology rather than an NPE assertion; no publicly available filings indicate third-party litigation funding. ABC has no history of asserting patents itself.
