Company profile

Company overview. Hisense International (Hong Kong) America Investment Co., Ltd. (formerly Hisense International America Holdings Co., Limited) is a Hong Kong–incorporated entity, registered at Senga Commercial Centre, 148 Connaught Road West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, and incorporated in 2011 (Tianyancha; court filings). It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hisense Co., Ltd. / Hisense Group Holdings, the Qingdao, China–based consumer-electronics conglomerate founded in 1969. Hisense Group Holdings ranked No. 135 on the 2025 Fortune China 500 with revenue of roughly US$29.9 billion and about 116,000 employees; listed affiliates include Hisense Visual Technology (SHSE: 600060) and Hisense Home Appliances Group (SHE: 000921).

Products / operations. The company functions as Hisense's Americas investment, import, and distribution arm. Shipping records show it exporting TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, laser projectors, and related appliances primarily into Mexico and the U.S. (Trademo; Market Inside). In 2015 it entered a business alliance with Sharp to license the Sharp brand for LCD TVs in the Americas (Sharp IR release). It has no independent manufacturing of its own; it is an operating/trading subsidiary of the Hisense group.

Patent-litigation posture. This entity is an operating company that appears only as a defendant (1 tracked case; 0 as plaintiff). The tracked case is Flexiworld Technologies, Inc. v. Hisense Co., Ltd. et al., filed June 24, 2022, in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (Judge Gilstrap). Flexiworld is a patent-assertion entity per Stanford's NPE Litigation Database (categories: "acquired patents" / "failed startup"); the complaint targeted Hisense smart TVs (Android TV, Google TV, Roku TV, X Class TV, Smart Laser TV), soundbars, and the RemoteNow app over wireless-connection/content-streaming patents (Ex Parte complaint analysis; Lexology).

Notable context. Related Flexiworld actions against multiple Hisense affiliates were transferred from E.D. Tex. to the Northern District of Georgia, where Hisense USA is based, and settled before claim construction (PatSnap). The company was also named a respondent in USITC Section 337 investigation 337-TA-1224 (2020) concerning digital video-capable devices (USITC press release), reflecting its role as Hisense's U.S.-facing import entity.
