Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Eternal Inc. is a private company based in Georgia that operates under the trade name Food Mart. While the exact date of its founding and other corporate details are not publicly available, court filings identify it as a Georgia corporate entity. The company's operations appear to be in the retail food and convenience sector.
As its "doing business as" name suggests, Eternal Inc.'s primary operation is running one or more retail locations under the "Food Mart" banner. This indicates the company is an operating company engaged in the sale of groceries, convenience items, and other related goods and services to the public. Further details on the specific number of locations or the scale of its operations are not readily available.
Eternal Inc.'s patent litigation posture is that of an operating company defending itself against a patent assertion entity. The company has no record of initiating patent lawsuits. Its single tracked case as a defendant was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, a common venue for patent litigation. The case data shows a clear defensive stance, which is typical for a retail business targeted by a non-practicing entity (NPE).
The company's only tracked litigation is a patent infringement suit filed on April 16, 2026, by The Only Card LLC. The plaintiff, The Only Card LLC, is a frequent litigator that has filed numerous similar lawsuits in the same district against various companies, indicating it is a patent assertion entity monetizing a patent portfolio. The lawsuit against Eternal Inc. is part of a broader litigation campaign by the plaintiff.
