Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Company overview. GAF Materials LLC (commonly "GAF"; also cited as GAF Materials Corporation) is a privately held manufacturing company headquartered at 1 Campus Drive, Parsippany, New Jersey. Its roots trace to 1886 (originally Standard Paint Company; the GAF name followed a 1967 merger with General Aniline & Film). GAF is a subsidiary of Standard Industries, a privately held, New York–based global industrial group with roughly 20,000 employees and about $11 billion in annual revenue. GAF itself reports 4,800–5,000+ employees across ~30 U.S. locations; as a private subsidiary it does not publish standalone revenue, though third-party sources estimate sales approaching $3 billion.
Products / services. GAF describes itself as North America's largest roofing and waterproofing manufacturer. It makes residential and commercial roofing products, including asphalt and laminated shingles (e.g., Timberline), TPO/PVC and modified-bitumen membranes, polyisocyanurate insulation, roof deck protection, leak barriers, ventilation products, coatings, and metal roofing, sold through a nationwide contractor network. Sister company GAF Energy (also under Standard Industries) markets the nailable Timberline Solar shingle.
Patent-litigation posture. GAF is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity: it has 0 tracked cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant. The single tracked matter — Eagle View Technologies, Inc. et al. v. GAF Materials LLC (filed May 4, 2021, D.N.J., Camden Vicinage) — is a patent-infringement suit in which GAF is the defendant. Court filings indicate the case was later transferred to the District of Utah as related to a parallel EagleView suit against Nearmap; the record also reflects GAF raising patent-misuse defenses and an antitrust counterclaim tied to an EagleView/Verisk settlement.
Notable context. The asserted patents concern aerial-imagery roof measurement and report generation; GAF's accused "QuickMeasure" roof reports were reportedly white-labeled from third-party software providers (Nearmap and Pushpin). GAF's dispute history otherwise does not show a pattern of active patent litigation — consistent with a large manufacturer defending a product-related infringement claim rather than monetizing patents.
Eagle View and Pictometry sued GAF Materials in Utah over nine asserted patents tied to 10685149B2. The case remained active through at least mid-2025, with claim construction set for August 26, 2025. A litigation-tracking aggregator later labeled the case closed, but no confirming dismissal or settlement order was identified.
