Defendant
1 case as defendant.
CoreWeave, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWV) is a US cloud-infrastructure company headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey. It was founded in September 2017 as Atlantic Crypto Corporation, a GPU-based Ethereum miner, and renamed CoreWeave in December 2019 when it pivoted to cloud computing. It has been publicly listed since its March 28, 2025 IPO. The company is not a subsidiary; NVIDIA is a significant equity investor. Public sources put headcount around 2,189 at the end of 2025 and FY2025 revenue at $5.13 billion, with trailing-twelve-month revenue above $6 billion and a market capitalization in the tens of billions.
CoreWeave sells GPU-accelerated cloud capacity rather than chips or models. Its CoreWeave Cloud Platform spans infrastructure services (NVIDIA GPU and CPU compute, high-performance networking, storage, bare-metal and virtual servers), managed software services (CoreWeave Kubernetes Service, virtual private cloud, "Mission Control" node/fleet lifecycle management), and application software services, including the Weights & Biases AI developer platform acquired in May 2025. It operates data centers in the US and Europe, with reported customers including Microsoft, OpenAI, Meta, and NVIDIA.
Litigation posture: CoreWeave appears in the tracked data as a pure defendant — 0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case — consistent with an operating company being targeted rather than an entity asserting patents. It is not a two-way litigant in this database.
Notable case: Malikie Innovations Ltd. et al. v. Core Scientific, Inc. et al., No. 2:25-cv-00519 (E.D. Tex., Marshall Division). The original May 12, 2025 complaint was filed against Core Scientific alone over cryptography and hash-algorithm patents acquired from BlackBerry/Certicom; CoreWeave was added as a defendant in a June 2026 amended complaint. Malikie Innovations and co-plaintiff Key Patent Innovations are Irish patent-assertion entities holding a roughly 32,000-patent portfolio purchased from BlackBerry in 2023, and the asserted patents target bitcoin-mining and HPC/AI compute workloads. The case is in a plaintiff-friendly venue; venue-transfer and § 101 motions have been litigated. Contextually, CoreWeave has announced an acquisition of Core Scientific, its co-defendant and a hosting provider for its AI compute.
Patent infringement suit brought by Malikie Innovations and Key Patent Innovations against Core Scientific, with CoreWeave later added. The '039 patent was added by amendment; the case remains pending with claim-construction and dismissal motion activity.
