Asus Tech USA is the North American operating entity of ASUSTeK Computer Inc., a Taiwanese multinational computer, phone hardware, and electronics manufacturer. The parent company, ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (doing business as Asus), was founded on April 2, 1989, and is headquartered in Beitou District, Taipei, Taiwan. It is a publicly traded company on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE: 2357). Globally, Asus employs over 17,000 individuals and reported revenues of approximately US$19.23 billion in 2022.
Asus manufactures a broad range of products, including laptops (such as VivoBooks, Zenbooks, ROG, and TUF Gaming series), desktop computers, monitors, motherboards, graphics cards, networking equipment like Wi-Fi routers, smartphones (ZenFone, PadFone), servers, workstations, and various computer peripherals. The company also invests in Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) solutions and robotics. Asus maintains a global presence with operations across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
In terms of patent litigation, Asus Tech USA demonstrates the posture of an operating company that defends against patent infringement claims. Its recorded history includes one tracked case as a defendant and zero as a plaintiff. This pattern is characteristic of companies focused on producing and selling products that are subject to patent assertions from other entities.
The sole tracked case for Asus Tech USA is Mesa Digital LLC v. Asus Tech USA et al., filed on December 7, 2023, in the California Central District Court. Mesa Digital LLC, the plaintiff in this action, appears to be a non-practicing entity (NPE) that has initiated patent infringement lawsuits against multiple technology companies over patents related to wireless multimedia device technologies.
The case was dismissed with prejudice by joint agreement.
