With zero cases as a plaintiff, its posture is that of a technology company defending itself against patent assertions.
The single tracked case is RFC Lenders of Texas, LLC v. Samsara Inc., filed in the Texas Western District Court in late 2023. This suit aligns with the common pattern of operating companies in the technology sector facing litigation from non-practicing entities (NPEs).
