Defendant
1 case as defendant.
Company overview. Samriddhi Automations Private Limited (CIN U32106DL2005PTC144203) is a private, unlisted Indian company that markets security equipment under the SPARSH CCTV brand. It was incorporated on 29 December 2005, with a registered office in Dwarka, New Delhi, and lists manufacturing and offices in Noida (Sector 63, Uttar Pradesh) and a SIDCUL industrial unit in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Directors include Sat Paul Sehgal (Chairman), Sanjeev Sehgal (Managing Director/Founder-CEO) and Amrish Kumar. Third-party corporate-data sources (Tracxn) report roughly 248 employees and revenue in the ₹100–500 crore band for FY2025; other directories give inconsistent figures (10–50 to several hundred), so headcount/revenue should be treated as approximate, not audited.
Products / operations. SPARSH designs and manufactures electronic video surveillance hardware: IP/network cameras (domes, bullets, PTZs), HD-analog and hybrid cameras, DVRs and NVRs, video-management software and analytics, plus access-control and intruder-alarm peripherals and accessories. The company states it was India's first domestic manufacturer of CCTV cameras (2008) and holds STQC certification for its camera range; it also holds UL listings for camera models. This is an operating manufacturer, not a shell or licensing vehicle.
Patent-litigation posture. The database shows exactly one tracked case: zero as plaintiff, one as defendant — the profile of an operating company defending an infringement claim rather than a patent asserter. The sole suit is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Samriddhi Automations Pvt. Ltd., No. 6:22-cv-00956, filed 15 September 2022 in the Western District of Texas (Judge Alan Albright), a plaintiff-friendly patent venue. Cedar Lane is characterized by Stanford's NPE Litigation Database and Unified Patents as a Canadian non-practicing entity asserting acquired patents.
Notable case context. That case involved image-capture/imaging patents and was voluntarily dismissed by Cedar Lane on 28 April 2023, after the court issued an order to show cause over the absence of a required scheduling report. No merits ruling was issued. Cedar Lane has filed hundreds of similar suits nationally, typically resolving early through settlement or dismissal.
