Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Logipix
Named in Stanford NPE Litigation Database entry for US 6,972,790.
Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Logipix — Logipix Kft. (also styled Logipix Ltd.), founded in 1996 in Budapest, Hungary, develops and manufactures ultra-high-resolution panoramic video surveillance systems. The Hungarian operating company is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Logipix International Corp. (OTC: LPIX), a Richmond, Virginia–headquartered company that announced and completed an acquisition of its former manufacturing partner Logipix Kft. for total consideration of $40 million (30 million LPIX shares plus $10 million in seller promissory notes). Logipix International trades over the counter. Third-party data aggregators (Craft.co, SignalHire) put headcount at roughly 100–200 employees and revenue in the low single-digit millions of dollars (Craft.co reports HUF 304.5M for FY2020), but these figures are not from audited filings and should be treated as approximate; the company does not appear to publish detailed financials.
Products / operations. Logipix is an operating company, not an NPE. It designs and manufactures multi-sensor panoramic cameras (100–960 MP, up to ~20 fps) with its own Image Processing Unit, plus accompanying NVR/VMS software and embedded computer-vision analytics. Named solution lines include highway surveillance (HIGS), traffic-violation detection (VIDE), border surveillance (BORS), critical-infrastructure surveillance (CIIS), airport airside augmented-reality systems (LAARS/ARCS), digital tower video (DTVA), stadium surveillance, and driver vision enhancement. Manufacturing and R&D are in Hungary; the company markets to government, border, transportation, and defense customers.
Patent-litigation posture. Logipix appears in the database solely as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case), which is consistent with an operating company being targeted rather than an asserter. Its single tracked matter is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Logipix Ltd. (1:22-cv-00713, E.D. Va., filed June 24, 2022). Cedar Lane is a Canadian-formed (2019) patent assertion entity that acquired patents originating with Intellectual Ventures; the asserted patents (e.g., US 6,972,790 and US 6,473,527) relate to imaging-array interfaces and image data processing. The case was not filed in the Eastern District of Texas, fitting the broader Cedar Lane docket that clusters in W.D. Tex., D. Del., and E.D. Va.
Case context. Logipix answered and filed counterclaims, then the parties jointly moved to dismiss. On July 14, 2022, Judge Leonie M. Brinkema dismissed the action — Cedar Lane's claims with prejudice and Logipix's counterclaims without prejudice.
