Micro Focus Government Solutions LLC ("MFGS")
Micro Focus Government Solutions LLC is a US-based enterprise software subsidiary serving federal, state, and local government customers. Its headquarters is commonly listed in McLean, Virginia (with prior offices in Vienna, VA and Rockville, MD). The entity traces to the HPE Software business; it moved to Micro Focus International plc when that company's spin-merge with HPE's software segment closed on September 1, 2017. Because its parent was UK-listed and foreign-owned, MFGS operated under a US proxy board structure for government contracting. Micro Focus International plc (LSE: MCRO) was acquired by Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ/TSX: OTEX) on January 31, 2023 for roughly $5.8–6.2 billion, so MFGS is now part of OpenText. Third-party trackers (Craft.co, SignalHire) estimate 100–200 employees; these figures are unverified estimates, and no standalone revenue for MFGS is published.
Products / services. MFGS is an operating company, not a shell licensor. It resells and supports the Micro Focus enterprise software portfolio to government buyers, with public-sector emphasis on: application security and static/dynamic code analysis (Fortify); security operations and SIEM (ArcSight); identity and access management (NetIQ); data security/encryption (Voltage, SecureData); IT operations and network management; application delivery and testing (ADM/ALM, LoadRunner, Performance Center); mainframe/COBOL modernization; and analytics (Vertica, IDOL). It also provides government-focused professional services, hosting, and support, and holds federal contract vehicles (e.g., a 2022 Library of Congress software license award).
Patent-litigation posture. Zero plaintiff cases, one defendant case. That profile is typical of an operating company being sued, not of an NPE. The single tracked matter is Wapp Tech LP et al. v. Micro Focus International PLC et al., filed July 2, 2018 in E.D. Tex. (Sherman Division) before Judge Mazzant — a plaintiff-friendly venue.
Notable case context. Wapp asserted patents (US 8,924,192; 9,298,864; 9,971,678) against Micro Focus's application-testing products (LoadRunner, Performance Center, etc.). MFGS was named among the Micro Focus subsidiary defendants after the parent was dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction. A March 2021 jury verdict found willful infringement and awarded $172.5M; the parties settled and the case was dismissed with prejudice in November 2021.
