1 case as defendant.
Jasco Products Company, LLC (marketed as "Jasco") is a privately held, family-founded consumer-products company headquartered at 10 E. Memorial Rd., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was established in 1975 by Steve Trice (some press accounts say 1978) and remains privately held and closely tied to the founding Trice family, which holds the CEO and chairman roles. Third-party data aggregators place headcount at roughly 350–500 and revenue at roughly $250 million, but the company is private and does not publish audited financials, so those figures should be treated as estimates. Jasco states it operates a 60-acre Oklahoma City campus with engineering, industrial-design and automated distribution facilities, plus sales offices in the Americas and business offices in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shenzhen.
Jasco designs, engineers and distributes consumer electronics and lighting, sold largely through retail and e-commerce channels. Its product lines span smart home/connected lighting (Enbrighten, JascoPro Series, MyTouchSmart), LED lighting and lighting controls, power products (surge protectors, adapters, timers, wiring devices), home entertainment accessories and mobility/charging accessories. Brand names include UltraPro, Cordinate, Projectables, EcoSurvivor, Power Gear and Titan, alongside licensed lines from GE, Philips, Energizer and Disney. This is an operating company, not a patent-assertion entity.
Patent-litigation posture: Jasco appears in the tracked data solely as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case), which is the classic profile of an operating company targeted by a licensor rather than an active enforcer. The single tracked suit was filed in the plaintiff-friendly U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Notable case: Fundamental Innovation Systems International LLC v. Coolpad et al. (E.D. Tex., No. 2:20-cv-00117, filed April 23, 2020). Fundamental Innovation Systems International (FISI), a Texas LLC formed in 2015 and reported in industry coverage as an NPE that acquired a BlackBerry/RIM USB-charging patent portfolio, sued Jasco alongside Coolpad, OnePlus and Aukey over mobile-device USB charging patents. Jasco's charging-adapter and power-accessory products are consistent with the technology asserted. Outside litigation, the case's public filings note FISI's portfolio is licensed to 30-plus companies and that FISI is a subsidiary of Fundamental Innovation Systems International Holdings LLC; no outcome for Jasco is verified here.
FISI filed a related campaign case in E.D. Tex. against Coolpad, OnePlus, Aokia Technology, and Jasco Products. Narrative notes '319 was not independently confirmed as pleaded.
