Lippert Components, Inc.

Lippert Components, Inc., commonly known as Lippert, is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of highly engineered products and customized solutions. Headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, the company was founded in 1956. Lippert is a public company, operating as a subsidiary of LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII). It has a significant global presence with over 12,500 team members and reported net sales of $4.1 billion.

Lippert provides a broad range of components primarily for the recreational vehicle (RV), marine, automotive, commercial vehicle, and building products industries. Its extensive product portfolio includes chassis, fabricated steel parts, entry doors, axles, leveling and stabilization equipment, suspension enhancement products, awnings, electronics, RV furniture, towing components such as hitches, and water management systems. The company operates more than 140 manufacturing and distribution facilities across North America, Africa, and Europe.

Lippert's patent litigation posture indicates that of an operating company that defends against infringement claims. The company has one tracked case as a defendant and zero as a plaintiff. This activity aligns with a business focused on developing and selling products, rather than asserting a patent portfolio.

The sole tracked case involving Lippert Components, Inc. is ETN Capital LLC v. Lippert Components, Inc., filed on March 31, 2022, in the North Carolina Western District Court. ETN Capital LLC appears to be an entity that asserts patents, having initiated this suit against Lippert. This is further supported by other patent-related activities involving ETN Capital LLC concerning RV leveling technology, where they have been involved in disputes as both plaintiff and defendant.
