Company profile

CERT Operations V LLC is a limited liability company primarily involved in patent litigation. It is likely a privately held entity, and specific details regarding its founding year, headquarters, employee count, or revenue are not publicly available. The structure, which includes multiple similarly named entities such as CERT Operations II, III, and IV LLC, suggests it operates as a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE) or patent assertion entity (PAE).

As an NPE, CERT Operations V LLC does not appear to manufacture products or provide services. Its operations are concentrated on intellectual property, specifically patent assertion and defense. No information on a specific technology focus area for its patent portfolio is publicly available beyond the general nature of patent infringement claims.

The company's patent litigation posture is that of a litigant appearing in both plaintiff and defendant roles. In the tracked cases, CERT Operations II LLC (a related entity) was a plaintiff in CERT Operations II LLC et al. v. Birchtech Corp. before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in January 2026. Conversely, CERT Operations II LLC also appeared as a defendant in Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. et al. v. CERT Operations II LLC et al. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in July 2019. More recently, CERT Operations V LLC, alongside other "CERT Operations" entities, was named as a defendant in a significant patent infringement lawsuit, Bromerc Ltd. et al v. CERT Operations, LLC et al, filed in March 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, a frequent venue for patent disputes. This pattern indicates an active involvement in patent disputes, both as an enforcer and a target.
