LiveRamp Holdings, Inc.
Company Overview

The company now known as LiveRamp was formed after Acxiom Corporation, founded in 1969, acquired a data onboarding company called LiveRamp in 2014. In 2018, Acxiom sold its marketing division and rebranded the remaining entity as LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. For the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the company reported revenues of $796 million. As of that date, LiveRamp had approximately 1,300 employees.

Its core business is enabling clients to connect and unify their disparate online and offline customer data to create a single, privacy-compliant view of the customer.

Major product offerings include "RampID," a pseudonymous identifier for recognizing users across devices; "Authenticated Traffic Solution (ATS)," a tool for publishers and advertisers to connect data without third-party cookies; and "Safe Haven," a secure data "clean room" environment for companies to collaborate on datasets without sharing personally identifiable information.

Patent-Litigation Posture
Based on the provided data, LiveRamp is an operating company that has been targeted in patent litigation. The company's single tracked case shows it as a defendant, with zero cases as a plaintiff. This posture is consistent with a technology company being sued by a patent-assertion entity. The plaintiff in its tracked case, Datonics LLC, is a subsidiary of AlmondNet, Inc., an entity that actively licenses and litigates a portfolio of ad-tech patents. This indicates LiveRamp is defending against patent assertions related to its core business operations.

Notable Cases and Context
The single tracked case is Datonics LLC v. LiveRamp Holdings, LLC, filed on April 10, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The plaintiff, Datonics, along with its parent AlmondNet and sister company Intent IQ, has filed numerous patent infringement lawsuits against major technology companies in the ad-tech space, including Oracle and Amazon. The patents asserted by these entities generally relate to profile-based and targeted advertising methods. Separately, LiveRamp has faced class-action lawsuits alleging its data collection and profiling practices violate consumer privacy laws.
