DoorDash, Inc.

DoorDash, Inc. is a publicly-traded American company founded in 2013 that operates a local commerce platform. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company trades on the NASDAQ stock exchange under the ticker symbol DASH. For the fiscal year ending in 2025, the company reported revenues of approximately $13.7 billion and had around 31,400 employees. Originally launched as Palo Alto Delivery Inc., the company has grown to become the largest food delivery platform in the United States by market share.

DoorDash's primary operation is a logistics and technology platform that connects consumers with local merchants. The service facilitates on-demand delivery of prepared meals from restaurants, as well as groceries, convenience items, alcohol, and other retail goods. The company's offerings include the DoorDash marketplace app, the Wolt marketplace (following an acquisition), and a subscription service called DashPass which provides members with reduced fees. For businesses, DoorDash provides services such as white-label delivery fulfillment (DoorDash Drive), e-commerce storefronts, and corporate meal solutions through DoorDash for Business.

Based on its litigation history, DoorDash is an operating company that defends against patent infringement claims. The company has not been tracked as a plaintiff in patent litigation but has been named as a defendant in one case. This defensive posture is typical for a large technology company. The single tracked case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue frequently chosen by patent plaintiffs.

The notable case in the database is X One Inc v. DoorDash Inc et al., filed in April 2026. The plaintiff, X One Inc., is identified by industry sources as a non-practicing entity (NPE), indicating the lawsuit is part of a patent assertion campaign rather than a dispute with a direct competitor. The suit targets DoorDash's core business operations.
