Company overview. Feit Electric Company, Inc. ("Feit Electric") is a privately held, family-owned lighting manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Pico Rivera, California, near Los Angeles. It has no public ticker and no disclosed parent; CEO Aaron Feit and president Alan Feit lead the company. Third-party directories put headcount at roughly 100–200 employees, with revenue estimates ranging from about $30 million to $56 million (ThomasNet, D&B, NAICS); one private-company database (PrivCo) estimates 2024 revenue as high as $380 million, but these figures are not company-confirmed.
Products / operations. Feit Electric designs and manufactures energy-efficient lighting: LED bulbs and lamps (including decorative white-filament LEDs), CFLs, halogen and incandescent lamps, lighting fixtures, and smart-home lighting products for residential and commercial use. It sells through major retail channels including The Home Depot and Ace Hardware, and operates a five-building corporate campus plus distribution facilities.
Patent-litigation posture. Feit is a two-way litigant: an operating company enforcing its own patents while defending against validity challenges. In the tracked data it appears 3 times as plaintiff and 3 times as defendant. All three plaintiff suits assert its U.S. Patent No. 8,604,678 ("Wavelength Conversion Component With a Diffusing Layer"), covering white-filament LED technology, against competitors: Ledvance (E.D. Ky., Feb. 2024), Savant Technologies d/b/a GE Lighting (N.D. Ohio, Mar. 2024), and Elong International USA (N.D. Tex., May 2024). Notably, these cases are not clustered in the Eastern District of Texas. The three defendant-side entries are PTAB inter partes review petitions filed by Savant, Ledvance, and Elong challenging the same patent.
Notable cases / context. The core dispute centers on Feit's 2024 enforcement campaign over white-filament LED bulbs (sold under the GE and Sylvania brands by the defendants). The PTAB instituted IPR2024-01357 (Savant/Ledvance) in March 2025; Elong and Xiamen Longstar sought joinder via IPR2025-00258, and the E.D. Ky. case was stayed pending the IPR's final decision. Feit also previously faced LED-filament suits from Seoul Semiconductor (2020, 2022), outside the tracked data, underscoring that it is both an active patent enforcer and a frequent litigation target in the LED lighting space.
