1 case as defendant.
JustWatch GmbH is a privately held international database and advertising technology company headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2014, the company employs over 200 people. While revenue figures are not officially disclosed, various business data providers estimate annual revenue to be between $15 million and $25 million.
The company's primary consumer-facing service is the JustWatch streaming guide, a search engine that allows its more than 45 million monthly users to find where to legally watch movies and television shows across hundreds of streaming services. JustWatch operates a business-to-business division called JustWatch Media, which leverages user data to provide targeted digital advertising and marketing services for entertainment companies, including major film studios like Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures. In early 2026, the company announced its expansion into content licensing with the hiring of a senior executive for global content acquisitions.
JustWatch's patent litigation history consists of defending its operations. The company is a defendant in one tracked patent case and has not been a plaintiff. This posture is consistent with that of an operating company targeted by a patent assertion entity. The single case, ContentNexus LLC v. JustWatch GMBH, was filed in April 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known for patent litigation. The plaintiff, ContentNexus LLC, filed similar infringement suits against other companies in the same court on the same day.
The lawsuit targets physical devices and the software methods they use to process signals.
