Amlogic Co. Ltd.

Company overview. Amlogic (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Chinese short name 晶晨股份, "Jingchen"; English short name Amlogic) is a fabless semiconductor designer founded 11 July 2003 by John Zhong and headquartered in Pudong, Shanghai. It is publicly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market under ticker 688099 (IPO August 2019). It is not a subsidiary of another group as disclosed. FY2025 revenue was RMB 6.793 billion (about US$0.95bn) with net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 873 million, and 1,945 employees at year-end 2025, of whom 1,684 were technical/R&D staff.

Products / operations. Amlogic designs and sells system-on-chip (SoC) and peripheral chips, using TSMC and other foundries. Product lines: smart multimedia and display SoCs for IPTV/OTT set-top boxes and smart TVs; AIoT SoCs with integrated NPUs; Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and (following its 2025 acquisition of Xinmaiwei) cellular/optical connectivity chips; and automotive infotainment and smart-cockpit SoCs. Third-party market research cited by the company places it first globally in set-top-box SoC sales and second globally (first in mainland China) in smart TV SoCs. Customers have included Xiaomi, TCL, Skyworth, Hisense and Haier; overseas revenue was roughly 91% of FY2025 sales.

Patent-litigation posture. An operating company, not an NPE. In the tracked data it appears only as a defendant (0 plaintiff, 1 defendant case), consistent with a hardware vendor being targeted rather than asserting. The venue is the District of Delaware (D. Del.), not the Eastern or Western District of Texas.

Notable case. Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Amlogic Co. Ltd. (D. Del., filed 30 October 2023) — Cedar Lane, a Canadian patent-assertion entity that acquired patents including assets originating with Intellectual Ventures, asserted U.S. Patents 6,972,790 and 8,537,242 ("host interface for imaging arrays") against Amlogic's SoC lines. Cedar Lane voluntarily dismissed with prejudice in April 2024. External context: Cedar Lane filed a related 2022 case against Amlogic Shanghai in W.D. Tex. (6:22-cv-01140), also dismissed.
