NEXCOM International Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 新漢股份有限公司; commonly "NEXCOM") is a Taiwan-based industrial computing and embedded-systems vendor founded in November 1992 and headquartered at 9F, No. 920, Zhongzheng Road, Zhonghe District, New Taipei City. It is publicly listed in Taiwan under ticker 8234. PitchBook cites roughly 1,020 employees, a ~US$285M market capitalization and trailing-twelve-month revenue of about US$174M (as of mid-2026); a NEXCOM Japan presentation from 2020 cited ~1,520 employees. It operates subsidiaries in the USA, UK, Italy, China, Japan and Taiwan, plus Taiwan and China manufacturing sites.
Products / services. NEXCOM designs and manufactures industrial-grade computing hardware and related software platforms, organized into six business units: IoT Automation Solutions (industrial automation, robot control, EtherCAT motion), Intelligent Video Surveillance (IP cameras, NVR platforms), Intelligent Platform @ Smart City (digital signage, kiosks, retail/hospitality systems, edge AI), Mobile Computing Solutions (vehicle, rail and rugged telematics computers), Medical & Healthcare Informatics, and Network & Communication Solutions (network security appliances, SD-WAN/uCPE, HPC, telecom, storage, ICS security). It also offers ODM/OEM design and manufacturing services.
Litigation posture. NEXCOM appears in the database only as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case), consistent with an operating company being targeted rather than an asserter. The sole tracked matter is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. NEXCOM International Co., Ltd., No. 6:22-cv-00946, filed in the Western District of Texas (not the Eastern District) and assigned to Judge Alan D. Albright.
Context. Cedar Lane Technologies is a Canadian entity repeatedly identified as the top-filing patent assertion entity, asserting acquired patents; the Stanford NPE Litigation Database classifies the asserted patent (US 6,972,790) as an acquired-patent asset. The complaint was served on NEXCOM in September 2022, and Cedar Lane filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on 8 November 2022 — a pattern consistent with Cedar Lane's reported high-volume, fast-settlement model. No further tracked cases followed.
