1 case as defendant.
Perq Software, LLC, also known as PERQ, is a privately held marketing technology company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company was originally founded as a printing and direct-mail firm in 2001 by Andy Medley and Scott Hill. It later pivoted to software, formally separating the technology business in 2018. While revenue figures are not public, the company has raised venture funding and was reported to have between 65 and 115 employees in recent years.
PERQ develops and sells a marketing automation platform that uses artificial intelligence to help businesses engage with online consumers and convert website traffic into sales. The company's main product offerings include AI-powered conversational tools (chatbots), automated lead nurturing systems, website personalization experiences, and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising management. PERQ specializes in solutions for the multifamily housing, automotive retail, and home furnishings industries.
As a litigant, Perq Software is an operating company that has defended against patent assertions. The company's litigation history in the provided database shows it as a defendant in one case and as a plaintiff in none. This posture is typical of a technology company targeted by a patent assertion entity.
The company's single tracked patent suit is Disintermediation Services, Inc. v. Perq Software, LLC, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in 2023. The plaintiff, Disintermediation Services, Inc., is a non-practicing entity that has filed infringement lawsuits against various other technology companies.
The complaint alleges that Perq Software's AI leasing assistant and website conversion tools infringe on two patents. The plaintiff is seeking damages, fees, and a compulsory ongoing license fee. The case is currently pending.
