Dawn Acquisitions LLC d/b/a Evoque Data Center Solutions

I'll research this company before writing the profile.

Let me verify current ownership status and the NPE plaintiff.

Company overview. Dawn Acquisitions LLC, doing business as Evoque Data Center Solutions, is a colocation and data-center operator headquartered in Irving/Dallas, Texas. It was formed in late 2018/2019 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Infrastructure Partners after Brookfield acquired AT&T's colocation data-center business for $1.1 billion. It is a private, Brookfield-controlled entity — not publicly traded. Specific employee counts and revenue figures are not reliably published; Moody's referenced the business in a 2018 pre-launch report, but current standalone headcount and revenue were not verified.

Products / services. Evoque provided enterprise colocation, interconnection, and managed hybrid-cloud/infrastructure services. It launched with 31 data centers across 11 countries and roughly 1,100 enterprise customers, later expanding into hyperscale build-to-suit offerings. Following Brookfield's $775 million purchase of Cyxtera Technologies' assets (completed early 2024), Evoque merged with Cyxtera and rebranded as Centersquare, a retail/wholesale colocation and interconnection provider with roughly 50+ data centers and 320 MW of capacity. Evoque/Dawn Acquisitions is therefore an operating company with substantial physical infrastructure, not a patent-holding entity.

Patent-litigation posture. The case data show 0 plaintiff appearances and 1 defendant appearance, which is the classic profile of an operating company being targeted rather than an asserter. The single tracked suit was filed in plaintiff-friendly territory: the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (Valtrus Innovations Ltd. v. Dawn Acquisitions LLC d/b/a Evoque Data Center Solutions, No. 2:24-cv-00142).

Notable case and context. Plaintiff Valtrus Innovations Ltd. is a non-practicing patent monetization entity holding a portfolio acquired from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and has brought a coordinated campaign of suits against data-center operators and tech vendors (including TierPoint, Lumen, CoreSite, Iron Mountain, NTT, and SAP), often alongside Key Patent Innovations Ltd. The patents asserted in this campaign cover data-center cooling, power management, and monitoring technology. No merits findings or outcomes for the Evoque case appear in the sources reviewed.
