Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC

Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC is a British multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Coventry, England. Commonly known as JLR, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of India-based Tata Motors, which acquired the Jaguar and Land Rover brands from Ford Motor Company in 2008. For the fiscal year ending in March 2025, JLR reported revenues of £29.0 billion and a profit before tax of £2.5 billion. The company employs over 30,000 people.

JLR is an operating company that designs, manufactures, and sells luxury vehicles and SUVs under its two core brands: Jaguar and Land Rover. The company's portfolio is organized into a "House of Brands" model, featuring Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, and Jaguar. As part of its "Reimagine" strategy, JLR is transitioning to an all-electric lineup, with a goal to offer pure electric versions of all its models by 2030 and achieve carbon net-zero emissions by 2039.

Based on its litigation history, Jaguar Land Rover is an operating company defending against patent assertions. The company is listed as a defendant in its only tracked case and has not been a plaintiff. This defensive posture is typical for a large manufacturing company. The single suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas, a jurisdiction frequently favored by patent plaintiffs.

The tracked case, Vision Works IP Corp. v. Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC, was filed in late 2024. The plaintiff, Vision Works IP Corp., has been identified as a non-practicing entity (NPE) or patent assertion entity (PAE). Vision Works has asserted patents related to vehicle dynamics, sensors, and driver-assistance technologies against numerous other automakers, including Tesla, Subaru, and Mercedes-Benz.
