Mountain State Cellular, Inc. — Company Profile
Overview. The only clearly attributable corporate name is Mountain State Cellular, Inc. Public sources do not firmly establish its headquarters, founding year, ownership, employee count, or revenue. A "Mountain State Cellular, Inc. d/b/a Mybullfrog.com" appears in later federal court records as a Verizon Wireless authorized retailer with locations in the Boise, Idaho area (e.g., Clear Wireless, LLC v. Mountain State Cellular, Inc., D. Idaho, No. 1:16-cv-00002), but I could not verify whether that retailer is the same entity named in the 2005 patent case below. Business-directory listings for the Idaho operation (Nampa, ID) give only unverified estimates (single-digit staff) and should not be treated as reliable. No public company, ticker, or disclosed parent was identified.
Products / services. Available evidence indicates a telecommunications operating business — a regional/local wireless carrier or wireless service reseller — rather than a patent-holding entity. Beyond that, no verifiable product line, subscriber figure, or service portfolio is documented in the sources reviewed. Note that this is an operating company, not a non-practicing entity: the case data show one defendant appearance and zero plaintiff appearances.
Patent-litigation posture. Mountain State Cellular is a pure defendant in the tracked data (0 as plaintiff, 1 as defendant), the signature of an operating company sued by a patent holder rather than an entity asserting patents. It was named in Freedom Wireless, Inc. v. Boston Communications Group, Inc. et al., No. 1:05-cv-11062, filed May 20, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, alongside Centennial Cellular Operating Co. and Boston Communications Group. The suit was filed in Massachusetts, the patentee's and BCGI's home forum — not the Eastern District of Texas.
Notable cases / context. The plaintiff, Freedom Wireless, Inc., is characterized in Stanford's NPE Litigation Database as individual-inventor-started. It asserted prepaid-wireless patents — U.S. Patent Nos. 5,722,067 and 6,157,823, "Security Cellular Telecommunications System" — acquired from predecessor Cellular Express/Cellexis. An earlier Freedom Wireless case against BCGI (D. Mass. No. 00-cv-12234) produced a reported eight-figure jury verdict involving several carriers; the 2005 action naming Mountain State was a follow-on assertion. No merits findings specific to Mountain State Cellular are known from the sources reviewed.
