Oracle Corporation is a publicly traded multinational technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates, the company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ORCL. For its 2025 fiscal year, Oracle reported revenue of approximately $57.4 billion and has around 162,000 employees.
Oracle is a major provider of enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, and hardware. Its core products include the Oracle Database, a widely used relational database management system (RDBMS). The company's cloud offerings, known as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), provide a suite of services for computing, storage, and networking. Oracle also sells a large portfolio of cloud-based business applications (SaaS) covering Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Supply Chain Management (SCM). Through numerous acquisitions, Oracle's portfolio also includes well-known software products such as NetSuite, PeopleSoft, and Cerner, a health information technology company.
The company's patent litigation posture, based on the provided data, is that of an operating company defending its products and services. With zero cases as a plaintiff and one as a defendant, Oracle appears as a target for patent assertions rather than an entity that initiates them. The tracked suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, a popular venue for patent litigation.
The single tracked case is Gaea LLC v. Oracle Corporation, filed in July 2023. The plaintiff, Gaea LLC, has also filed patent suits against other major technology companies, which is characteristic of a non-practicing entity (NPE) that generates revenue through patent licensing and assertion.

Express Mobile, Inc. filed a patent infringement suit against Oracle Corporation in the Delaware District Court. The case was ultimately dismissed.
