ImagineAR Inc. is a Canadian public technology company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, that was incorporated in 2011. Formerly known as Imagination Park Technologies Inc., it adopted its current name in April 2020. The company's shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker symbol "IP". In April 2026, ImagineAR voluntarily withdrew its shares from the OTCQB market in the United States, citing the costs associated with a dual listing.
ImagineAR is an operating company that provides an augmented reality (AR) platform as a service. Its main product, ImagineAR.com, allows businesses in sectors like sports, retail, and live events to create and manage their own AR campaigns without needing programming experience. The platform includes a software development kit (SDK) for integration into existing mobile apps, a WebAR solution that does not require an app download, and a cloud-based content management system. The technology enables clients to deliver interactive content such as 3D holograms, videos, and coupons to users who point their mobile devices at real-world objects.
The company's patent litigation posture is that of an operating company asserting its own patents. The provided case data shows one appearance as a plaintiff and one as a defendant, both related to the same dispute. ImagineAR has acted as a plaintiff, initiating a patent infringement lawsuit to enforce its intellectual property against a competitor.
The company's tracked litigation involves a notable dispute with Niantic, Inc., the publisher of the popular AR game Pokémon GO. In November 2024, ImagineAR sued Niantic for patent infringement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. In April 2026, the court ruled against ImagineAR, granting Niantic's motion that the asserted patents were invalid. The case listed in the database, Imaginear Inc v. Niantic Inc, is ImagineAR's subsequent appeal of that decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which the company announced in April 2026.
This is an inter partes review (IPR) petition filed by Niantic, Inc. to challenge the validity of the patent claims. The status of the PTAB's decision on whether to institute the review is not specified.
