Evernote Corporation

I'll research Evernote's current corporate profile.

Evernote Corporation ("Evernote") is a US software company founded in 2004 in Sunnyvale, California, and headquartered in Redwood City, California. It is no longer independent: Bending Spoons S.p.A., a Milan, Italy–based app acquirer and operator, purchased Evernote in a transaction announced November 2022 and closed in January 2023 (reported purchase price ~$200 million). Evernote therefore operates as a subsidiary of Bending Spoons, which listed on Nasdaq in July 2026. Francesco Patarnello succeeded Ian Small as Evernote CEO. Post-acquisition, the operating staff was reduced dramatically (one 2026 report puts the Evernote team at roughly 20 people); Evernote reported about $100 million in recurring revenue at the time of the deal.

Products / operations. Evernote is an operating company, not an NPE. Its core product is the Evernote cross-platform note-taking and information-capture application, which stores and syncs notes, web clippings, documents and handwritten content across devices, with tiered consumer and business subscription plans (including Evernote Teams and an "Advanced" tier) and, since 2023, embedded AI search, note-generation and summarization features. Under Bending Spoons the product has been repositioned toward paying subscribers, with substantial price increases, storage limits and restrictions on the free tier.

Patent-litigation posture. Evernote appears in the tracked data only as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case), which is the classic profile of an operating company being targeted by an assertion entity rather than an active litigant.

Notable case. Honeyman Cipher Solutions LLC v. Evernote Corporation, No. 1:20-cv-00403 (W.D. Tex., filed April 16, 2020, Judge Robert Pitman), asserted U.S. Patent 5,991,399 — originally issued to Intel (1999, priority 1997) and routed through Convera, H2 Partners and Plano Encryption Technologies before reaching Honeyman Cipher, a Delaware NPE formed in 2018. The infringement theory targeted app registration/distribution via Apple's iTunes Connect and Google's Android Developer Console. Honeyman Cipher voluntarily dismissed the case on July 6, 2020, and the court closed it July 28, 2020.
