Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Arlo Technologies, Inc. is a public company headquartered in Carlsbad, California, that specializes in smart home security products. Originally a brand within Netgear, Arlo was founded in 2014 and spun off as an independent company through an initial public offering in August 2018 (NYSE: ARLO). As of early 2026, the company's market capitalization was approximately $1.6 billion, with trailing twelve-month revenues around $529 million. Employee counts vary by source, with estimates ranging from approximately 350 to over 600.
Arlo Technologies designs and sells a range of internet-connected security devices and related subscription services. The company's main product lines include smart Wi-Fi and LTE-enabled wireless security cameras, video doorbells, and floodlight cameras. These hardware products are integrated with a cloud-based platform that provides users with video monitoring, real-time alerts, and data storage. Arlo has increasingly focused on a subscription-based model, offering services like Arlo Secure, which adds features such as AI-powered object detection, customized activity zones, and emergency response services.
Based on the provided data, Arlo Technologies is an operating company that defends against patent infringement claims. The company is listed as a defendant in one tracked case and has no record of acting as a plaintiff, a common posture for technology manufacturers. The single lawsuit, IOT Innovations LLC v. Arlo Technologies, Inc., was filed in the Massachusetts District Court in April 2024. This litigation profile suggests Arlo is targeted by patent assertion entities rather than being an assertive plaintiff itself.
The tracked case against Arlo was initiated by IOT Innovations LLC, which appears to be a non-practicing entity (NPE). While details of this specific case are limited, it aligns with a broader trend of operating companies in the Internet of Things (IoT) sector facing litigation from entities that acquire and assert patents. Arlo's business, which combines connected hardware with cloud services and AI, operates in a technology space frequently targeted in patent disputes. The case was filed in the District of Massachusetts, a common venue for patent litigation but not one of the Texas districts known for attracting a high volume of NPE lawsuits.
