Based on its litigation history, Schneider Electric USA is an operating company that defends against patent assertions. The company is currently a defendant in one tracked case and has not been a plaintiff. This posture is typical for a large technology manufacturer facing infringement claims from non-practicing entities (NPEs). The single case filed against it is in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas.

The case, IOT Innovations LLC v. Schneider USA Inc, was filed in April 2026. [cite: ] The plaintiff, IOT Innovations LLC, has been identified by industry sources like Unified Patents as an NPE and an affiliate of the patent monetization firm Empire IP. IOT Innovations has asserted patents related to Internet of Things (IoT) and smart device communication against numerous other technology companies, including Resideo, Somfy Systems, and SimpliSafe, in various district courts.
