Defendant
1 case as defendant.
DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC is a Florida-based limited liability company founded on December 19, 2023. Information regarding its employee count, revenue, or market capitalization is not publicly available. The entity is characterized as a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE) by anti-patent troll organization Unified Patents.
As an NPE, DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC does not appear to offer commercial products or services. Instead, it asserts a portfolio of patents, primarily focusing on internet and web development technologies. For example, U.S. Patent 11,763,316, which it owns, generally relates to methods for creating and posting web pages to the internet, specifically through the use of a graphical user interface.
DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC exhibits the litigation posture of a patent assertion entity. It has appeared as a plaintiff in one tracked case, DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC v. Bytedance Ltd et al., filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California for patent infringement. The company has also been involved in one defendant case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), where Unified Patents filed a challenge against it.
The most prominent tracked case is its patent infringement suit against Bytedance Ltd et al. Concurrently, Unified Patents initiated a PTAB proceeding against DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC, specifically targeting U.S. Patent 11,763,316. Unified Patents publicly sought prior art for this patent through its "PATROLL" crowdsourcing platform, explicitly identifying DiStefano Website Innovations, LLC as an NPE.
Unified Patents filed an Inter Partes Review petition against Distefano Website Innovations, LLC challenging at least claim 1 of patent 11763316, which has been instituted and is currently pending before the PTAB.
