2 cases as defendant.
Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL) is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 1995 by Sehat Sutardja, Weili Dai, and Pantas Sutardja, headquartered in Santa Clara, California (Delaware-incorporated, following the 2020 redomiciliation of the former Bermuda-based Marvell Technology Group). It is publicly traded and not a subsidiary. Fortune reported roughly 7,480 employees and about $8.2 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2026 (ended Jan. 31, 2026), figures consistent with other financial-data aggregators.
Products / operations. Marvell designs and sells data-infrastructure silicon rather than manufacturing it (it uses foundries such as TSMC). Product lines include custom ASIC/ASSP designs; OCTEON and ARMADA data-processing units (DPUs); OCTEON 5G infrastructure processors; Ethernet switching silicon (Prestera for enterprise, Teralynx for data center), PHYs, and FastLinQ/Ethernet adapters; electro-optics and interconnect products from the 2021 Inphi acquisition; and storage silicon — SSD and HDD controllers, HDD preamplifiers, and QLogic Fibre Channel adapters. It also offers security products (LiquidSecurity HSMs, NITROX cryptographic offload engines). The firm has grown largely through acquisitions, including Cavium (2018), Aquantia (2019), Avera Semiconductor (2019), Inphi (2021), and Innovium (2021).
Litigation posture. The tracked data shows Marvell as a defendant in one case and a plaintiff in none — the profile of an operating company being sued, not an assertion entity. The single case sits in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, a plaintiff-friendly patent venue, before Judge Alan Albright.
Notable case. Daedalus Prime LLC v. Marvell Technology, Inc. (7:25-cv-00413, filed Sept. 8, 2025) asserts microprocessor power-management and cache-coherency patents — U.S. 10,372,197 and 10,705,960 — against Marvell's OCTEON 10 DPU. Daedalus Prime is characterized as a patent-assertion entity asserting former Intel portfolio patents; Unified Patents identifies it as an NPE and notes related suits against MediaTek and Google. The docket shows a joint stipulation transferring venue to the Austin Division in January 2026, plus a Marvell motion to dismiss. No merits determination is reflected in the tracked data.
Complaint against Marvell Technology, Inc., filed 2025-08-18 per UniCourt, Judge Alan D. Albright; joint motion to stay citing settlement 2025-10-29 and voluntary dismissal 2025-10-31. Exhibit list referenced '465, RE44,904 and '249, so '807's inclusion is unconfirmed.
Daedalus Prime LLC sued Marvell Technology, Inc. in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, asserting infringement including US 8,984,228 and targeting the Marvell OCTEON 10 DPU. The narrative reports conflicting status records: Daedalus Prime lists the case as pending, while Unified Patents and Ex Parte AI-Lab show it as closed.
