EvoDC, LLC — company profile

Overview. EvoDC, LLC is a privately held U.S. limited liability company with no publicly traded parent. Its USPTO trademark filings list an address of 600 W. 7th Street, Suite 500, Los Angeles, California 90017, which corresponds to the downtown Los Angeles data center building it operates. Third-party executive profiles (MarketScreener) identify EvoDC LLC as founded in 1999 by Arman Khalili, with Derek Garnier as CEO since 2017; industry directories (Mordor Intelligence, Baxtel) group "EVODC, LLC (Evocative)" with Evocative LLC, an Emeryville, California internet-infrastructure provider. The precise corporate relationship between EvoDC and Evocative is not confirmed in the sources reviewed. Employee count and revenue are not publicly disclosed.

Products / services. EvoDC is an operating data center colocation and managed-services provider, not an NPE. Its trademark records cover cloud and server hosting, managed hosting, virtual servers, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, colocation, data backup, disaster recovery, cloud migration and related technical support. A City of Carson, California contract award (April 2024) describes EvoDC providing colocation racks, primary and redundant power with on-site generators, cross-connects, ISP options, security controls, remote-hands support and 24/7 access, at a five-year value not exceeding $187,925.

Litigation posture. In the tracked data EvoDC appears only as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case) — consistent with an operating company targeted by an assertion campaign rather than an entity asserting patents. It was sued by Valtrus Innovations Limited and Key Patent Innovations Ltd., Dublin-based patent monetization entities whose portfolio was acquired from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and covers data center cooling, atmospheric control and environmental monitoring. The tracked case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is now part of MDL No. 3190 in the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division, Judge Rodney Gilstrap); a parallel E.D. Tex. docket is numbered 2:26-cv-00286.

Context. EvoDC is one of roughly two dozen data center operators named alongside cooling-equipment supplier Vertiv, which filed a declaratory-judgment action in E.D. Tex.; Valtrus counterclaimed against Vertiv and its customers, adding EvoDC. Unified Patents characterizes the Valtrus campaign as an acquired-portfolio assertion program; the complaints focus on how operators use third-party-supplied data center cooling systems.
