Carbyne Ltd.

Carbyne Ltd. is an American and Israeli technology company that develops cloud-native emergency communication and response solutions. Founded in 2015, the company is headquartered in New York City, with R&D operations in Tel Aviv, Israel. As of March 31, 2026, Carbyne had approximately 192 employees. In November 2025, Carbyne was acquired by Axon Enterprise (Nasdaq: AXON) for $625 million, making it a subsidiary of Axon. Prior to its acquisition, Carbyne had raised a total of $223M to $250M in funding over several rounds.

Carbyne specializes in "Next Generation 911" (NG911) solutions, providing a cloud-native platform that modernizes how Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) handle critical emergency calls. Their technology enables the real-time transmission of rich data, including live video, precise GPS location, audio streaming, and text messages from callers to emergency centers. The company's flagship product, APEX, integrates AI to enhance emergency response, streamline alerts, and provide real-time situational awareness for faster and more informed decision-making. Carbyne's solutions are deployed in nearly 300 sites across 23 U.S. states and six other countries, supporting over 250 million people globally.

Carbyne Ltd. appears as a defendant in a single tracked case, "Unified Patents Inc. v. Carbyne Ltd. et al.," before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the USPTO. This posture indicates Carbyne is an operating company whose patent(s) are being challenged for validity by Unified Patents Inc., an organization known for initiating inter partes reviews against asserted patents.

The sole tracked case, filed in August 2025, involves a challenge to a patent owned by Carbyne. This PTAB proceeding is a post-grant review that seeks to invalidate one or more of Carbyne's patents. The case provides context to Carbyne's active role as an innovator and patent holder in the emergency communication technology sector.
