Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Cufer Asset LTD, LLC is a limited liability company primarily identified as a patent holding entity, with no verifiable public information on its operational headquarters, founding year, or employee count. It is a subsidiary of Invention Investment Fund I, L.P., which is associated with Intellectual Ventures I LLC. Intellectual Ventures is known as a global invention and investment business that creates, incubates, and commercializes inventions, often through patent acquisition and licensing.
The company does not appear to offer any direct products or services. Instead, its activities are centered around its intellectual property portfolio. USPTO data from 2011-2015 indicates Cufer Asset LTD, LLC held 25 utility patents during that period, all with 100% domestic (U.S.) inventor share, consistent with the profile of a non-practicing entity (NPE) or a shell licensor.
In terms of patent litigation, Cufer Asset LTD, LLC's posture is as a defendant in its sole tracked case. It has not initiated any patent infringement lawsuits as a plaintiff. The company is a defendant in Hartford Fire Insurance Co. v. Intellectual Ventures I LLC et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. This case, naming Cufer Asset LTD, LLC alongside other Intellectual Ventures-affiliated entities, appears to be an insurance dispute, rather than a direct patent infringement action brought against an operating company by Cufer Asset LTD, LLC.
This case was filed by Hartford Fire Insurance Co. against multiple defendants including Intellectual Ventures I LLC, asserting US patent 7669081.
