I'll research this entity before writing the profile.
Camelot SI, LLC — d/b/a SharperImage.com (styled "Camelot SL, LLC" in the 2015 complaint and Align's related press release) is a privately held Michigan company headquartered in Novi, Michigan (some listings cite Farmington Hills). Its sole member is Camelot Venture Group, LLC, a Michigan private investment group focused on direct-to-consumer businesses. It is not publicly traded. Third-party headcount trackers (Crustdata, LeadIQ) put staffing at roughly 180–200, but no verified revenue figure is public; in 2023 it closed a $37 million revolving credit facility with Siena Lending Group.
The company is the U.S. direct-to-consumer operator and licensee of the Sharper Image brand, selling home electronics, air purifiers, massage and personal-care devices, gadgets, and gifts through SharperImage.com, a print catalog, and third-party marketplaces including Amazon and eBay. Camelot Venture Group relaunched the SharperImage.com site and catalog in 2009–2010 and acquired the U.S. direct-to-consumer rights from Iconix Brand Group in 2014. The underlying Sharper Image trademark is now owned by ThreeSixty Group (Irvine, California); Camelot holds e-commerce/catalog license rights, not an asserted patent portfolio. It is an operating retailer, not a non-practicing entity.
Litigation posture: the tracked data show 0 cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant — the profile of an operating company being sued, not a patent assertor. The single tracked matter sits in the Northern District of California, not a plaintiff-friendly patent venue.
Notable case: Align Technology, Inc. v. SmileCareClub LLC et al. (N.D. Cal., filed Oct. 22, 2015). Align asserted fourteen patents covering clear aligners plus false advertising and unfair competition claims; Camelot/SI and Brookstone were named for marketing and selling SmileCareClub's clear-aligner system, not for manufacturing it. Outside the tracked patent set, Camelot SI has been an active plaintiff in trademark litigation against licensor ThreeSixty Brands Group (2021), and a law-firm report lists a separate patent suit by Random Chat LLC against Camelot SI concerning multimedia communications technology.
