Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Impero Solutions Inc. is the U.S. entity of the Ativion group. It is incorporated in Delaware and, per Ativion's March 2025 group-structure filing, does business as Ativion, with a U.S. mailing address at 10300 SW Greensburg Rd, Portland, Oregon. Its UK sister company, Impero Solutions Limited (Nottingham, England), is the group's operating and registered office; the group is headed by Impala Bidco Limited, also Nottingham-based. The business traces to 2001–2002 and was previously branded Impero Software / Impero Solutions. It is private and PE-backed: Connection Capital funded a £10M management buyout in 2014, and Investcorp Technology Partners acquired it in August 2017 at a £27.5M enterprise value. Group-level filings report trading revenue of roughly £22.4M for FY2023; third-party data (PitchBook) puts headcount near 91, and UK filings listed 78–79 UK employees for 2022. No employee or revenue figure specific to the U.S. entity is publicly verifiable.
Operations. Ativion develops education technology and safeguarding software for K–12 schools, districts, and multi-academy trusts, with additional corporate use. Current product lines include StudentKeeper (a merged classroom-management, filtering, and student-wellbeing platform), ContentKeeper web filtering, EdPro/Classroom on-premise classroom management, Wellbeing monitoring, and Connect secure remote control. Add-ons came via acquisitions: Safeguarding Monitor (2018), Netop (Feb 2021), and ContentKeeper (Jan 2022). The Netop remote-access business was carved out as a standalone company in December 2025. The group rebranded from Impero to Ativion in 2024.
Litigation posture. Impero Solutions Inc. appears once in the tracked data, as a defendant, with no plaintiff filings — the profile of an operating company being sued, not an NPE. The sole case is Kajeet, Inc. v. Impero Solutions Inc., No. 6:20-cv-01076 (W.D. Tex., Waco Division, Judge Alan Albright), filed November 23, 2020. Plaintiff Kajeet is an operating IoT-connectivity provider asserting U.S. Patent 8,667,559 on server-side policy control of mobile devices, and it filed parallel suits against other ed-tech vendors (e.g., JAMF, Lightspeed). The case was stayed in February 2021, reported settled in April 2021, and voluntarily dismissed April 27, 2021.
Kajeet, Inc. sued Impero Solutions Inc. in the Western District of Texas before Judge Albright. The complaint expressly attached Exhibit A - US 8,667,559 and an excerpt from the '559 file history; accused product appears to be Impero EdLink.
