Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Freedcamp, Inc. is a privately held software company based in Santa Barbara, California (3066 Foothill Rd.), founded in 2009–2010 by Angel Grablev, who remains CEO. It is not publicly traded and has no disclosed parent. Size estimates vary widely across third-party databases: most trackers put headcount in the 1–10 or roughly 20-employee range, with revenue estimates spanning under $1M to a few million dollars. Total disclosed funding is small — reported at roughly $400K across seed and convertible-note rounds, with Alchemist Accelerator listed as an investor. These figures are unverified estimates, not audited disclosures.
Freedcamp operates a freemium, web/mobile/desktop project management and team collaboration platform. Its core offerings include task and subtask management, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, milestone tracking, time tracking, calendars, file storage, issue tracking, discussions, and a knowledge base, along with paid add-on modules. It competes with tools such as Trello, Basecamp, and Asana. It is an operating company, not a patent holder asserting rights.
Its litigation posture is purely defensive. Per the tracked data, Freedcamp has appeared in one patent suit, as defendant, and zero as plaintiff — the classic profile of an operating company targeted by an assertion entity rather than a two-way litigant.
That case is Web 2.0 Technologies, LLC v. Freedcamp, Inc. (No. 2:23-cv-02246, C.D. Cal., filed March 2023). Web 2.0 Technologies is characterized by defense-side analyses (Seyfarth Shaw's "NPE Showcase," April 2023) as a non-practicing entity asserting two patents — U.S. 8,117,644 ("online document collaboration") and U.S. 6,845,448 ("online repository for personal information") — against numerous project-management and SaaS vendors in a broad campaign filed across multiple districts. In Freedcamp's case, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed with prejudice in April 2024 before an answer was served. No damages or injunctive relief were awarded, and no public settlement terms were disclosed.
