Company profile

I'll research this company before writing the profile.

Let me verify ownership details and the plaintiff's status.

NTT DATA Americas, Inc. is a Delaware-incorporated IT services company with its principal U.S. office at 7950 Legacy Drive, Plano, Texas. State filings show it was previously named NTT DATA, Inc. (renamed December 2022) and cross-references Keane, Inc., an IT services firm NTT DATA acquired in 2009. It is a subsidiary within the NTT DATA group, ultimately owned by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) of Tokyo. NTT DATA Group Corporation (formerly listed in Tokyo, securities code 9613) was taken private by NTT in 2025 and delisted. Group-level figures published by NTT DATA: roughly 193,000 consolidated employees and ¥4.37 trillion revenue for FY ended March 2024. Entity-specific headcount and revenue for NTT DATA Americas are not broken out publicly.

Operations. NTT DATA Americas is an operating IT services and consulting business — not an NPE. It sells application development and modernization, cloud migration and managed infrastructure, data and analytics, SAP and Salesforce implementation services, cybersecurity, business-process outsourcing, and industry-specific digital transformation work across sectors including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and the public sector. It sits inside the group's international arm, NTT DATA, Inc., which also includes data-center colocation, network, and connectivity services inherited from NTT Ltd.

Litigation posture. The tracked data shows one case, as a defendant only: a single patent-infringement suit. This is the classic profile of an operating company on the receiving end of NPE litigation, with no offensive patent assertions of its own. The suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division — a historically plaintiff-friendly venue.

Notable case. Valtrus Innovations Ltd. v. NTT Data Services, LLC et al., No. 2:24-cv-00361 (E.D. Tex., filed May 14, 2024), named NTT Data Americas, Inc. among several NTT entities. Plaintiff Valtrus is an Irish patent-assertion entity backed by Key Patent Innovations; Unified Patents and RPX describe Valtrus as a monetization platform asserting patents acquired from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The asserted patents concern data-center cooling, atmospheric control, and airflow/analytics methods, and Valtrus has filed similar suits against other data-center operators and customers. Vertiv Corporation, the customer's cooling-equipment supplier, intervened in the case.

Note: case facts are taken from the provided litigation data; company details are drawn from state corporate filings and NTT DATA group disclosures.
