As an operating company, Macy's patent litigation posture is that of a defendant. The provided data shows Macy's Retail Holdings Inc. with one tracked case as a defendant and none as a plaintiff, a typical pattern for a large retailer targeted by patent assertion entities.
The company's single tracked case is an appeal in Monticello Enterprises LLC v. Petco Animals Supply Stores Inc et al. The plaintiff, Monticello Enterprises LLC, is a non-practicing entity (NPE) that has asserted patents related to mobile and in-app payment systems against multiple retailers, including Starbucks, Petco, and Macy's. A patent asserted by Monticello in district court litigation against these companies was later challenged and found to have all its challenged claims rejected in a reexamination proceeding at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
