Defendant
4 cases as defendant.
ASUS Computer International, Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of Taiwan-based ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (TWSE: 2357), headquartered in Fremont, California, and serves as the group's North American sales, distribution, and service arm. ASUSTeK was founded in 1989 and is publicly listed; its corporate headquarters are in Taipei's Beitou District. The parent reported 2025 consolidated brand revenue of NT$688.9 billion (~US$21–23 billion), net profit after tax of NT$44.6 billion, and EPS of NT$60, with roughly 17,000 employees group-wide (PitchBook; ASUSTeK 2025 results; ASUS investor relations).
Products / operations. ASUSTeK designs and sells branded 3C hardware: desktop and server motherboards (it claims the global No. 1 motherboard share), graphics cards and other add-in boards, consumer and commercial laptops/desktop PCs, gaming hardware under the ROG line, monitors, smartphones, IoT devices, and—since 2026, via a separately reported Infrastructure Solutions Business Group—AI servers and related data-center infrastructure. Reported 2025 revenue shares were approximately 52% Systems, 28% Open Platform, and 18% Infrastructure. ASUS Computer International is the North American operating/distribution entity for these products (Marketscreener; NMBI).
Patent-litigation posture. ASUS Computer International is an operating company, not a non-practicing entity. In the authoritative case data it appears in exactly one tracked suit, as a defendant and never as a plaintiff — the classic profile of a product company targeted by an assertion entity rather than a two-way litigant.
Notable case. Innovative Display Technologies LLC v. LG Display Co., Ltd. et al., No. 2:16-cv-00932 (E.D. Tex., filed Aug. 24, 2016, Judge Rodney Gilstrap, Marshall Division). ASUS Computer International and ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. were named alongside LG Display, LG Electronics entities, and Vizio. Stanford's NPE Litigation Database classifies IDT as an acquired-patent asserter, and its portfolio covers LCD backlight/light-guide assemblies (e.g., U.S. Patents 6,755,547; 7,404,660; 7,384,177), which it asserted against numerous device makers and downstream sellers in E.D. Tex. and D. Del. ASUS's role reflects downstream products incorporating accused display modules, not patents of its own assertion.
2017 Central District of California case asserting the '231 patent along with U.S. 7,062,296 and 7,729,728. It was consolidated and stayed, resolved via the indefiniteness/collateral-estoppel path, and was subject to CAFC 22-1787/22-1789.
IDT filed suit on August 24, 2016, in the Eastern District of Texas against LG Display, LG Electronics entities, Vizio, ASUSTeK, and ASUS Computer International. The case was before Judge Gilstrap.
Sanyo sued MediaTek and its ASUS customers in C.D. California. The Stanford NPE Litigation Database, keyed to patent 6118486, lists the '486 patent as at issue in this case. It was settled/dismissed with prejudice as part of the same global Sanyo-MediaTek settlement.
California action brought by Sanyo against MediaTek and ASUS entities in the Sanyo/MediaTek dispute involving the '819 patent. It was settled and dismissed with prejudice as part of the same global settlement resolving the Texas action, with cross-licenses exchanged.
