I'll research this company to verify its profile.
ClearCorrect, Inc. — Company Profile
Overview. ClearCorrect, Inc. (commonly "ClearCorrect"; operating entity ClearCorrect Operating, LLC) is a U.S. manufacturer of custom clear dental aligners. It was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Round Rock, Texas. It is no longer independent: Straumann Group (Straumann Holding AG, SIX: STMN, Basel, Switzerland) acquired all outstanding shares of ClearCorrect Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries in 2017 for total consideration of approximately $150 million, and ClearCorrect now operates as a Straumann Group brand. At the time of acquisition, Straumann reported ClearCorrect had roughly 200 employees and 2016 sales of about USD 32 million; it remains privately held within the publicly traded Straumann group.
Products / operations. ClearCorrect designs and manufactures clear aligner systems for orthodontic tooth correction — removable, transparent appliances used to treat minor-to-medium malocclusion. It offers branded treatment programs including its "Flex" and "Unlimited" options, sold primarily to general dentists in North America and through distributors/agents in markets such as the UK, Australia, Israel, and New Zealand. It manufactures in Round Rock, Texas, using a large 3D-printing operation (widely reported as among the largest Stratasys printer fleets). This is an operating company, not a patent-assertion entity.
Litigation posture. The case data is unambiguous: ClearCorrect appears twice, both as a defendant, and zero times as plaintiff. Both tracked matters are Align Technology, Inc. v. ClearCorrect, Inc. et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas (one dated 2011-02-28). This is the classic profile of an operating company being sued by a larger competitor — here Align, maker of Invisalign — rather than an NPE asserting an acquired portfolio. The cases are in the Southern District of Texas, not the Eastern District of Texas.
Notable context. The Align dispute also spawned the parallel ITC investigation Certain Digital Models (Inv. No. 337-TA-833), which produced the Federal Circuit's 2015 decision in ClearCorrect Operating, LLC v. ITC, 810 F.3d 1283. There the court held that electronically transmitted digital data is not an "article" under Section 337, limiting ITC jurisdiction over digital-only imports; the ITC had found infringement and issued exclusion/cease-and-desist orders, which the Federal Circuit reversed. Rehearing en banc was denied in 2016.
