I'll research the LG entities involved in this case before writing the profile.
Let me verify the litigation context for the case and the plaintiff entity.
Overview. The database entry "LG Electronics entities" groups affiliates of South Korea's LG group. Its principal constituent is LG Electronics Inc. (KRX: 066570), founded 1958 as GoldStar, headquartered in the LG Twin Towers, Yeouido, Seoul. It is a publicly traded operating company within the LG Corporation chaebol; FY2025 consolidated revenue was reported at roughly KRW 89 trillion (~US$67bn) with headcount in the 70,000+ range. The tracked case also names LG Display Co., Ltd. (KRX: 034220; NYSE: LPL), a separate listed panel maker founded 1985 and headquartered in Seoul, in which LG Electronics is the largest shareholder (~37%). LG Display is smaller, with roughly 23,000–27,000 employees and FY2025 revenue near KRW 26 trillion.
Products / operations. LG Electronics is a diversified consumer and B2B electronics manufacturer. Its divisions cover home appliances and HVAC (Home Appliance & Air Solution), televisions and audio (Home Entertainment), automotive electronics (Vehicle Component Solutions), and B2B displays, signage and robotics (Business Solutions). LG Display develops and manufactures OLED and TFT-LCD panels — TV, IT (monitor/notebook/tablet), mobile, and automotive — sold to electronics makers, with LG Electronics a major customer.
Litigation posture. Purely defensive: 0 cases as plaintiff, 1 as defendant in the tracked data. This is the classic profile of an operating company being attacked, not an asserter. The single case sits in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division, Judge Rodney Gilstrap).
Notable case. Innovative Display Technologies LLC v. LG Display Co., Ltd. et al., No. 2:16-cv-00932 (E.D. Tex., filed 24 Aug 2016), named nine defendants including LG Display, LG Display America, LG Electronics Inc., LG Electronics U.S.A., LG Electronics Mobilecomm U.S.A., LG Electronics Alabama, Vizio, ASUSTeK and ASUS Computer International. Plaintiff Innovative Display Technologies LLC is a patent-assertion subsidiary of Acacia Research (RPX; Unified Patents), asserting two backlight/light-emitting-panel patents acquired via Rambus. Related IDT/Delaware Display Group suits against LG entities were filed in Delaware (2013) and E.D. Tex. (2013); LG Display filed IPRs against the patents (e.g., IPR2014-01357, IPR2015-01717). LG Display's 20-F discloses that the parties settled all claims in April 2017.
IDT filed suit on August 24, 2016, in the Eastern District of Texas against LG Display, LG Electronics entities, Vizio, ASUSTeK, and ASUS Computer International. The case was before Judge Gilstrap.
