MNTN operates a self-serve technology platform for performance marketing on Connected TV (CTV). The platform, called MNTN Performance TV, allows brands to launch and manage advertising campaigns on streaming services, similar to search and social media advertising. Its services are designed to enable advertisers to target specific audiences, measure conversions, and track metrics like revenue and website visits in real-time. MNTN also offers an integrated creative platform, QuickFrame AI, which uses artificial intelligence to generate video ad content.

As a defendant in patent litigation, MNTN is an operating company defending its technology. The company has been named a defendant in two patent infringement lawsuits filed by the same plaintiff, Intent IQ, LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. This litigation posture, with zero cases as a plaintiff and multiple as a defendant against a patent assertion entity, is typical for a technology company facing NPE claims.

The two tracked cases against MNTN were both filed on May 23, 2025, by Intent IQ, LLC. Intent IQ is a known patent assertion entity that has engaged in extensive litigation against numerous technology and advertising companies, claiming its patents are "foundational" to the online advertising industry. It has secured licensing deals with major tech companies and won a significant jury award against Amazon. The lawsuits against MNTN are part of this broader assertion campaign targeting companies in the ad tech sector.
