1 case as defendant.
Based on available information, Dongguan Xiaoti Electric Technology Co., Ltd. (东莞市小题电器科技有限公司) is a privately held manufacturing company based in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. Dongguan is a major industrial and manufacturing hub. Specific details such as the company's founding year, employee count, and revenue cannot be independently verified from public sources. Like many electronics manufacturers in the region, it appears to operate as a producer of small consumer appliances.
The company's product lines appear to include small home appliances. Online commerce listings show "XiaoTi" branded products, notably electric kettles with a retro design aesthetic. Given that Dongguan-based manufacturers often produce a range of electronics and personal care items for export on an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) basis, it is plausible their production includes other categories. Many similarly named companies in the Dongguan area specialize in hair care appliances like hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons.
Dongguan Xiaoti Electric Technology Co. appears in US patent litigation as an operating company defending its products. The company has been named as a defendant in one tracked patent case and has not been a plaintiff. This posture is typical of a foreign manufacturer being sued in the US market by a domestic competitor or patent holder. The single case is not in a jurisdiction known for high volumes of patent assertion entity litigation.
The company's only tracked litigation is the case Conair LLC v. Tehrani Corp et al., filed on April 22, 2026, in the Illinois Northern District Court. The plaintiff, Conair, is a major American manufacturer and distributor of personal care and small kitchen appliances, which aligns with the likely product categories manufactured by Dongguan Xiaoti Electric Technology Co.
