Company overview. Guiyang Hisense Electronics Co., Ltd. (贵阳海信电子有限公司, "Guiyang Hisense") is a private Chinese joint venture founded on January 23, 1997, headquartered in the Guiyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Guizhou Province. It is 51%-owned by Hisense Visual Technology Co., Ltd. — the listed TV arm of Hisense Group (SSE: 600060) — and 49% by Guiyang Industrial Investment Co., Ltd., a municipal state-owned entity. It is one of Hisense's six global TV production bases and the largest self-branded TV factory in western China, with roughly 350–480 employees and 2024 revenue of about RMB 6 billion (~US$830 million), on output value above RMB 9.5 billion.
Products / operations. Guiyang Hisense is a manufacturing company, not a licensing entity. It produces Hisense-brand LCD/LED smart TVs (roughly 32″ to 75″ and larger), plus remote controls, audio equipment, and satellite-TV receiving gear, with export sales to Japan, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere. It produced about 3.32 million TVs in 2024 and has pursued smart-manufacturing certifications (China's Level 4 smart-manufacturing maturity in 2025).
Patent-litigation posture. Guiyang Hisense is a classic operating-company defendant: 0 cases as plaintiff and 2 as defendant in our tracked data, both filed by Flexiworld Technologies, Inc., an Oregon-based patent assertion entity (listed in Stanford's NPE Litigation Database with acquired patents). The cases are part of a broader Flexiworld v. Hisense campaign asserting wireless-connectivity and streaming patents against Hisense smart TVs, soundbars, and the RemoteNow app, with Guiyang Hisense named among roughly a dozen affiliated Hisense entities.
Notable cases. The tracked suits are Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Hisense Co., Ltd. et al. (E.D. Tex., Marshall Division, filed June 24, 2022, before Judge Rodney Gilstrap) and Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Hisense Company, Ltd. et al. (N.D. Ga., Atlanta Division, filed October 31, 2022). The initial Eastern District of Texas filing reflects that venue's historical popularity with NPE plaintiffs; the action subsequently proceeded in the Northern District of Georgia, where Hisense's U.S. affiliate is based. Flexiworld's campaign reportedly settled before claim construction.
