1 case as defendant.
Pittasoft Co., Ltd. (commonly branded BlackVue, and formerly known simply as Pittasoft) is a South Korean consumer-electronics company founded in July 2007 by Dr. Hyunmin Hur, who remains CEO. It is privately held and unlisted; Korean corporate registry data and startup databases carry no public ticker. Its headquarters are generally listed at 4F ABN Tower, 331 Pangyo-ro, Bundang-gu, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, with earlier corporate addresses in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul. Third-party estimates put revenue in the roughly $10–50 million band (FY2023) with about 60 employees, though these figures are not audited disclosures and should be treated as approximate.
Pittasoft designs and sells vehicle dashcams, related accessories, and connected-camera services under the BlackVue brand. Its product lines include the DR-series dashcams (e.g., DR970X and DR770X models, including 4K and dual-channel units), optional LTE connectivity modules, parking-mode battery/UPS accessories, and the BlackVue Cloud remote-view and backup service. It also markets FLEETA, a cloud-based fleet management offering aimed at commercial fleets, and sells IP-based surveillance cameras. It holds a modest patent portfolio (roughly 40-plus patents per third-party counts) and is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity.
On litigation posture, the case data show Pittasoft purely as a defendant — 1 tracked case, 0 as plaintiff — consistent with an operating company being targeted rather than an NPE asserting acquired patents. It has no tracked offensive patent suits.
The sole tracked matter is Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. Pittasoft Co., Ltd., No. 2:24-cv-01029, filed December 12, 2024, in the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division) before Judge Rodney Gilstrap — a plaintiff-friendly venue. Fleet Connect Solutions is characterized by Unified Patents and Stanford's NPE database as a non-practicing entity affiliated with Empire IP, asserting acquired early-2000s WLAN/OFDM wireless-communication patents (including US 7,742,388 and US 6,635,616) covering Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 functionality in BlackVue devices. Pittasoft counterclaimed; the case was docketed alongside Fleet Connect suits against EROAD, Coretex, Lenovo, and others. The claims were dismissed with prejudice in January 2026, with Pittasoft's counterclaims dismissed without prejudice.
Fleet Connect Solutions LLC asserted the '153 patent against Pittasoft Co., Ltd. in E.D. Tex. The case was dismissed with prejudice on 2026-01-20 by joint stipulation, with an asymmetric outcome where FCS claims were dismissed with prejudice.
