Amadeus NA

I'll research this company before drafting.

Company overview. "Amadeus NA" refers to Amadeus North America, Inc., the U.S. regional subsidiary of Amadeus IT Group, S.A., a Spanish travel-technology company headquartered in Madrid and founded October 21, 1987. The parent has been listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange (ticker AMS; IBEX 35 constituent) since 2010 and reported 2024 revenue of €6,141.7 million with roughly 20,600 employees. Amadeus North America, Inc. is a Florida-registered foreign profit corporation (entity no. F98000004652) with its principal U.S. address at 3470 NW 82nd Avenue, Miami, and a Waltham, Massachusetts office; Amadeus states its Miami site alone has more than 470 staff. It is wholly owned by the Madrid parent.

Products / services. Amadeus sells transaction-processing and software to the travel industry through two segments: Distribution, built on its global distribution system (GDS) that lets travel agencies and corporations search, price and book airline, hotel, rail and car content; and IT Solutions, covering airline reservation, inventory and departure-control systems (Altéa), airport IT, hospitality IT (including Navitaire and Newmarket), and travel payments via its Outpayce subsidiary. The North American entity distributes and supports these products for U.S., Canadian and regional customers.

Patent-litigation posture. The tracked data shows 1 case as defendant and 0 as plaintiff — the profile of an operating company targeted by a patent assertion entity, not a litigant asserting its own portfolio.

Notable case. InternetAd Systems, LLC v. Opodo Ltd. et al. (N.D. Tex., Dallas Division, filed 2005) named Amadeus NA as a defendant. InternetAd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Acacia Research Corporation; the court described such entities as enforcing patents "against accused infringers in an attempt to collect licensing fees, but does not manufacture products or supply services based upon the patents." The asserted patents (U.S. 5,572,648; 5,737,619; 6,185,586; 6,456,025) cover interstitial/pop-up internet advertising, and the claims targeted defendants' websites. The published ruling, 481 F. Supp. 2d 596 (N.D. Tex. 2007), addressed InternetAd's standing as licensee. Venue was N.D. Tex., not the Eastern District of Texas. Acacia announced related InternetAd licenses with Priceline.com (2005) and DoubleClick (2008).
