Amlogic, Inc. / Amlogic (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (688099.SH)

Amlogic is a fabless semiconductor designer. Its operating business is Amlogic (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (晶晨半导体(上海)股份有限公司, short name 晶晨股份), headquartered in Pudong, Shanghai, with US offices including Santa Clara, California. The Amlogic corporate lineage dates to 1995, when the predecessor Amlogic Inc. was registered in California; the Shanghai company was established in July 2003 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market in 2019 under ticker 688099. It is publicly traded, not a subsidiary; Amlogic (Hong Kong) Limited holds roughly 19% and operates as controlling shareholder. Headcount was about 1,945 at year-end 2025, of which 1,751 were R&D staff. FY2025 revenue was RMB 6.79 billion (~US$1.0 billion) with net profit of RMB 870 million; market capitalisation has recently run in the RMB 34–40 billion range. The company refiled in April 2026 for a Hong Kong main-board listing.

Products and operations. Amlogic designs system-on-chip (SoC) products and peripheral ICs and outsources wafer fabrication, packaging and test. Product lines are: smart multimedia and display SoCs (set-top box, smart TV, monitor); AIoT SoCs; communication and connectivity ICs (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, FTTR gateway); and smart automotive SoCs for infotainment and smart-cockpit systems. Customers include TV brands such as Xiaomi, Hisense, TCL, Skyworth and Haier, plus more than 270 telecom operators. Frost & Sullivan data cited in its filings ranks it fourth globally among smart-device SoC vendors (1.2% share, 2024) and first in mainland China / second globally in smart-home device SoCs (17.7%). This is a genuine operating company with substantial product revenue.

Litigation posture. Purely defensive. In the tracked data Amlogic appears once, as a defendant, and never as a plaintiff — consistent with an operating company targeted by an assertion entity. The sole tracked case is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Amlogic, Inc., filed 2023-10-31 in the District of Delaware. Cedar Lane is a Canada-based non-practicing entity that acquires patents (many originating with Intellectual Ventures) and litigates in high volume, particularly in the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas and Delaware, with technology focus areas in imaging and audio-video processing.
