1 case as defendant.
Company overview. Ean Holdings LLC (styled EAN Holdings, LLC) is a Delaware-registered limited liability company headquartered at 600 Corporate Park Drive in St. Louis, Missouri (Greater St. Louis). Formed in 2008–2009, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise Mobility (formerly Enterprise Holdings), the private, Taylor-family-owned holding company. Its parent reported roughly $39 billion in fiscal-2025 revenue and more than 90,000 employees, and is ranked among the largest private U.S. companies; EAN Holdings itself is the group's principal legal operating entity for its rental-car brands.
Products / services / operations. EAN Holdings is the operating company behind the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent A Car brands (its DBAs), and related Enterprise offerings such as carsharing, truck rental, fleet management, and used-car sales. In practice it runs rental locations, vehicle fleets, reservation systems, and the brands' mobile apps across the U.S. and internationally, and holds federal contracts for short-term motor-vehicle rental services.
Patent-litigation posture. Ean Holdings is an operating company, not a patent-assertion entity: its one tracked case is as a defendant (0 as plaintiff). The suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue frequently chosen by patent plaintiffs, consistent with EAN Holdings being a recurring target of NPE-style infringement complaints over its rental and mobile-booking technology.
Notable cases. The tracked matter is Context Directions LLC v. Ean Holdings LLC et al., No. 4:22-cv-00577 (E.D. Tex., filed July 8, 2022), before Judge Amos L. Mazzant III.

External docket records show the plaintiff amended its complaint and the parties engaged counsel; the case has since closed. No other litigation appearances are reflected in the tracked database.
