1 case as defendant.
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is a publicly traded cybersecurity technology company founded in 2011. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the company trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol CRWD. For its fiscal year ending January 31, 2026, CrowdStrike reported revenue of $4.81 billion and employed over 10,000 people.
The company operates in the cybersecurity sector, providing cloud-based solutions for endpoint security, cloud workload protection, identity protection, and threat intelligence. Its primary offering is the Falcon platform, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription that includes a suite of cloud modules designed to stop security breaches. Key services include next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed threat hunting, and IT hygiene. CrowdStrike serves customers globally through a direct sales team and channel partners.
CrowdStrike’s patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending its products. The company has been a defendant in one tracked patent case and has not appeared as a plaintiff. This defendant-only record is typical for a technology company facing patent assertions from third parties.
The single tracked case is Skysong Innovations, LLC v. CrowdStrike, Inc. et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The plaintiff, Skysong Innovations, is the exclusive intellectual property management and technology transfer organization for Arizona State University. In the lawsuit, Skysong accuses CrowdStrike's Falcon Platform of infringing on patents that were developed at the university.
A magistrate judge recommended dismissing some of Skysong's claims related to pre-suit inducement and willful infringement. CrowdStrike has also filed for an Inter Partes Review (IPR) of the patent.
