Company profile
I'll verify this company's profile with web searches.
Mobicip, LLC — private, independent company founded in 2008 and headquartered in Newbury Park / Thousand Oaks, California (501 S. Reino Rd.). Founder and CEO is Suren Ramasubbu. It is a privately held LLC with no disclosed venture funding. Third-party data aggregators give wildly inconsistent size estimates — headcount ranges from ~21 to 100+ employees and revenue from under $1M to roughly $10M — so no reliable figure can be confirmed from a primary source.
Products / services. Mobicip is an operating company selling parental-control and content-filtering software as a subscription. Its cross-platform product covers iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Chromebook, Windows, and macOS, and includes internet/web filtering by category or keyword, app blocking, screen-time scheduling and limits ("School," "Sleep," "Free Time"), activity reports, device locking, and location tracking. Pricing tiers run from roughly $2.99 to $7.99 per month. It also markets a K-12 school edition for CIPA compliance and district-managed student devices; its documented deployments include Comal ISD in Texas. Mobicip's original flagship was the "Safe Browser" replacement browser app launched in 2009.
Patent-litigation posture. Mobicip appears in the tracked data only as a defendant (zero plaintiff cases), consistent with an operating company being attacked rather than an NPE asserting a portfolio. The single tracked matter is Kajeet, Inc. v. Mobicip, LLC, No. 2:18-cv-03899 (C.D. Cal., filed May 10, 2018), a patent infringement suit brought by Kajeet, Inc., a K-12 education connectivity provider. Venue is the Central District of California, not an NPE-favored district such as the Eastern District of Texas.
Context. The asserted patents (including U.S. 8,667,559 and 8,774,755) cover parental-control/mobile-device management technology, and the Stanford NPE Litigation Database classifies Kajeet as a "product company" plaintiff. Kajeet filed parallel infringement actions against other parental-control vendors, notably Qustodio, which secured dismissal and fees. The case proceeded amid Alice § 101 eligibility briefing; no outcome for Mobicip is established by the sources reviewed. Mobicip was also publicly affected in 2018 when Apple removed its iOS app over API-policy issues.
