Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Company overview. Bitrix, Inc. is a privately held software company founded in 1998 by Sergey Rizhikov and co-founders. Its U.S. headquarters are at 901 N. Pitt Street, Suite 325, Alexandria, Virginia, with development operations historically tied to Kaliningrad, Russia. Third-party databases estimate roughly 100–200 employees and annual revenue on the order of $60 million, but these figures are unverified estimates; the company is founder-owned and does not disclose public financials. In 2007 Bitrix formed a 50/50 joint venture, 1C-Bitrix, with Russian software firm 1C to distribute its products in the former USSR; the JV is headquartered in Kaliningrad with offices in Moscow, Almaty, and Minsk.
Products / operations. Bitrix, Inc. develops content management and business-collaboration software. Its product lines include the Bitrix Site Manager CMS (sold as 1C-Bitrix Site Manager in CIS markets), Bitrix Intranet/Extranet portal software, and Bitrix24 — a cloud and on-premise suite launched in 2012 that bundles CRM, contact-center tools, project management, file sharing, website/online-store builders, and HR features for SMB and enterprise customers.
Patent-litigation posture. Bitrix is an operating company, not a patent-assertion entity: it has zero tracked cases as plaintiff and one as defendant. In Lab Technology LLC v. Alaio, Inc. et al. (1:25-cv-01234, filed July 24, 2025, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia), Bitrix is a defendant alongside Alaio, Inc. The venue is EDVA — Alexandria, where Bitrix is headquartered — rather than a plaintiff-friendly forum like the Eastern District of Texas.
Notable context. The plaintiff, Lab Technology LLC, is a New Mexico-based non-practicing entity identified by Unified Patents and RPX as a patent assertion entity asserting telecommunications and communications-related patents (e.g., voice-messaging, caller-location, and VoIP identity-mapping portfolios) against numerous operating companies. The case was still in its pleading stage in late 2025, with Bitrix having filed appearances, a corporate disclosure statement, and extension requests for its answer. No merits rulings are recorded in the tracked docket.
Action against Bitrix, Inc. and Alaio, Inc. in the Eastern District of Virginia. An amended complaint was filed August 27, 2025 against Alaio, Inc., and the case remained pending as of the last docket data.
