Company overview. monday.com Ltd. (styled "monday.com"; defendant in the tracked case as "Monday.com, Inc.") is a publicly traded software company founded in 2012 and headquartered at 6 Yitzhak Sadeh Street, Tel Aviv, Israel. It listed on Nasdaq (MNDY) in June 2021. The company reported roughly $1.23 billion in 2025 revenue (~$1.3 billion trailing twelve months as of March 2026) and about 3,155 employees as of 2025, serving over 245,000 customers.
Products / services. monday.com operates a cloud-based "Work OS" — a no-code/low-code visual platform of modular building blocks that organizations assemble into custom applications for work and project management, CRM, software development, and service management. Product lines include monday Work Management, monday CRM/Sales CRM, monday Dev, and monday Service, sold primarily on per-seat subscription tiers, with revenue largely recurring. The company is an operating company with real products and services — not an NPE.
Patent-litigation posture. Monday.com is an operating company defending against an NPE suit: it has 0 tracked cases as plaintiff and 1 as defendant. The sole tracked case is Peter Henrik Pedersen v. Monday.com, Inc. (No. 6:22-cv-00923-ADA-DTG), filed September 8, 2022, in the Western District of Texas (Waco Division) — a plaintiff-friendly venue before Judge Alan Albright.
Notable case context. Plaintiff Peter Henrik Pedersen, an individual NPE believed by Unified Patents to be associated with AiPi Solutions, asserted U.S. Patent No. 6,965,920 ("Profile Responsive Electronic Message Management System"), a messaging/spam-filtering patent, against Monday.com's email marketing platform. The same patent was asserted against numerous other software companies (including Intuit, Ziff Davis, Upland, Salesforce, Zoho, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and Wix). The Monday.com action was stayed pending inter partes review, and in March 2026 the Federal Circuit affirmed PTAB's decision invalidating the '920 patent claims. Monday.com's litigation exposure is limited to this single defensive matter.
