Amazon.com Services, Inc. — company profile
Amazon.com Services, Inc. was a Delaware corporation (formed January 18, 2002, formerly Amazon Fulfillment Services, Inc.) that converted to a Delaware LLC, Amazon.com Services LLC, effective December 30, 2019 (Delaware certificate of conversion; SEC 10-K Exhibit 21.1). It is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), a public company with no parent (Rule 7.1 disclosure statements filed in Amazon litigation; Amazon 10-K). Its principal office is 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, Washington. Amazon.com, Inc. was founded in 1994 and reported net sales of $638.0 billion for FY2024, approximately 1,556,000 full- and part-time employees, and a public float of roughly $1.8 trillion as of June 30, 2024 (Amazon FY2024 10-K and Q4 2024 earnings release). Amazon.com Services LLC does not report entity-level revenue or headcount separately.
The entity is a domestic operating subsidiary rather than a product brand: it holds much of the U.S. retail and fulfillment workforce and absorbed related units (e.g., Amazon Digital Services LLC merged into it effective January 1, 2020, per a Copyright Royalty Board notice). Its parent's businesses include online and physical stores, third-party seller services, Prime subscriptions, AWS cloud computing, advertising, consumer devices (Kindle, Echo, Fire TV, Ring, Blink, eero), and video/music content (Amazon 10-K, Item 1).
Patent-litigation posture: operating company defending. The case data show 0 cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant — the profile of a company being attacked, not a non-practicing entity.
