Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Company overview. The tracked defendant, "Mobileye, Inc.," is the U.S. operating entity of Mobileye Global Inc. (Nasdaq: MBLY), incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel, with U.S. offices (the 2016 suit lists Mobileye, Inc. of Jericho, New York, alongside then-parent Mobileye N.V. of Jerusalem). Mobileye was founded in 1999 by Prof. Amnon Shashua and Ziv Aviram, IPO'd on the NYSE in 2014, and was acquired by Intel in 2017 for $15.3 billion. Intel re-floated it on Nasdaq in October 2022 and remains its controlling shareholder (roughly 80% economic interest and ~99% voting control via dual-class stock as of early 2026; Intel's Q2 2026 10-Q reports non-controlling ownership of about 23%). Headcount is roughly 4,200 per company filings and financial data providers. FY2025 revenue was approximately $1.89 billion.
Products / services. Mobileye is an operating company — a fabless automotive technology supplier, not an NPE. It designs the EyeQ system-on-chip family (EyeQ4 through EyeQ6, co-developed with STMicroelectronics) plus the perception/driving-policy software stack, sold to OEMs through Tier 1 suppliers. Product tiers run from regulatory-grade Base ADAS through Surround ADAS, SuperVision, Chauffeur, and the Level 4 Mobileye Drive platform, supported by REM crowdsourced mapping and software-defined imaging radar. In early 2026 it acquired humanoid-robotics startup Mentee Robotics.
Patent-litigation posture. Mobileye appears in this database once, as a defendant with zero plaintiff cases — the classic profile of an operating company being attacked rather than a patent asserter. That sole case is Gary D. Pignato v. Mobileye, Inc. et al., No. 1:16-cv-00800, filed April 11, 2016 in the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division — not a plaintiff-friendly NPE venue.
Case context. Pignato, an individual inventor, asserted U.S. Patent No. 6,240,346 ("System with Light Display and Data Recorder for Monitoring Vehicle in Relation to Adjacent Vehicle") against Mobileye's 5-Series driver-assistance line, particularly the aftermarket Mobileye 560, alleging direct, induced, and contributory infringement. The Stanford NPE database classifies the plaintiff as an individual/non-practicing entity. Defense counsel Finnegan reports Pignato voluntarily withdrew the suit after Mobileye developed non-liability positions and a potential Rule 11 motion.
Gary D. Pignato sued Mobileye, Inc. and Mobileye N.V. for patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271, accusing Mobileye 5-Series driver-assistance systems including the Mobileye 560 System. The case was voluntarily withdrawn/dismissed by plaintiff and is closed.
