Openpath Security Inc.

I'll research Openpath Security Inc. to verify its profile.

Openpath Security Inc. (commonly "Openpath") is a US access-control technology company founded in 2016 and headquartered at 600 Corporate Pointe, Culver City, California. It is privately held but no longer independent: Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) announced a definitive agreement to acquire Openpath on 13 July 2021, and the deal closed by the end of that month; terms were not disclosed. Openpath now operates within Motorola Solutions' Video Security & Access Control organization and its access-control business has been folded into the Avigilon Alta cloud-native security suite. Crunchbase lists the company at roughly 51–100 employees, and CB Insights reports about $63M in total venture funding raised before the acquisition, with investors including Okta Ventures, Greycroft, LPC Ventures and Allegion Ventures.

Products / services. Openpath is an operating company, not a patent-assertion entity. It develops cloud-managed, mobile-first physical access control systems for commercial buildings: smartphone-based touchless door entry, multi-factor authentication, door controllers and readers, smart-lock hardware, video-security integration, and remote cloud administration of entry points. Target sectors include commercial real estate, education, healthcare, government and retail. Under Motorola Solutions branding, the same platform is marketed as Avigilon Alta (cloud video and access control).

Patent-litigation posture. The tracked data show a single case, with Openpath named only as a defendant (0 plaintiff suits, 1 defendant suit) in the District of Delaware. This is the classic profile of an operating company being attacked rather than a litigant asserting patents.

Notable case. Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Openpath Security Inc., No. 1:22-cv-01497 (D. Del., filed Nov. 2022), asserts U.S. Patent Nos. 6,473,527; 6,972,790; and 8,537,242 — imaging/JPEG-compression and imaging-array host-interface patents. Cedar Lane is a Canadian entity repeatedly characterized as a non-practicing entity/patent assertion entity by Unified Patents, Stanford's NPE Litigation Database and RPX; it acquired patents associated with Intellectual Ventures and has filed hundreds of suits, concentrated in the Western District of Texas and District of Delaware. No merits findings are reflected in the case data here.
