Kaspersky Lab, Inc.

Kaspersky Lab is a privately held, multinational cybersecurity company founded in 1997 by Eugene Kaspersky, Natalya Kaspersky, and Alexey De-Monderik. Headquartered in Moscow, Russia, the company is operated by a holding company registered in the United Kingdom. As one of the world's largest privately owned cybersecurity firms, Kaspersky employs over 5,000 specialists and reported revenue of approximately $836 million in 2025.

The company develops and sells a wide range of cybersecurity products and services for consumers, small to medium-sized businesses, and large enterprises. Its offerings include antivirus software, endpoint security, internet security suites, password management, and threat intelligence services.

The company's Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) is known for discovering and analyzing sophisticated cyber-espionage platforms.

Based on the provided data, Kaspersky Lab is an operating company that has defended itself in patent litigation. It has been a defendant in one tracked case and has not appeared as a plaintiff. This pattern is typical of a technology company being targeted by a patent assertion entity. The single lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue historically favored by patent plaintiffs.

The notable case in the database is Uniloc USA, Inc. et al. v. Kaspersky Lab, Inc., filed in 2013. The plaintiff, Uniloc, is a well-known non-practicing entity (NPE) that has filed numerous patent infringement lawsuits against a wide range of technology companies, including Microsoft and Apple. This context further supports the characterization of Kaspersky's litigation posture as defensive against patent assertion campaigns.
