Company profile

Secure Communication Technologies LLC is a privately held entity formed in Texas on January 12, 2024, under the management of Eric M. Albritton. No information regarding employee count or revenue range is publicly available.

Secure Communication Technologies LLC operates as a non-practicing entity (NPE), also referred to as a patent assertion entity, whose business model focuses on patent licensing and litigation rather than developing or selling commercial products. The company asserts a portfolio of patents generally related to wireless communication, specifically through the use of wireless service identifiers. These patents were transferred to Secure Communication Technologies LLC in April 2024 from Proxicom Wireless, LLC.

The company's patent litigation posture is that of an NPE asserting an acquired portfolio. This is evident from its single plaintiff case and zero defendant cases in district court. Its sole plaintiff lawsuit, Secure Communication Technologies, LLC v. Samsung Electronics, was filed in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue often favored by patent plaintiffs. Conversely, the company appears as a defendant in a Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) case, Unified Patents v. Secure Communication Technologies LLC, which typically represents a defensive challenge against the validity of patents being asserted.

The notable case of Secure Communication Technologies, LLC v. Samsung Electronics (filed July 3, 2024) saw Secure Communication Technologies LLC accuse Samsung of infringing three patents related to wireless communication through the provision of laptops, smartphones, and tablets that support features such as Fast Pair, Find My Mobile, Nearby Share, Quick Share, and SmartThings technologies. The patents asserted in this campaign belong to a family of 27 patents, with the earliest estimated priority date in September 2008. The prior owner, Proxicom Wireless, LLC, had previously litigated nine patents from this portfolio against Macy's and Target between 2018 and 2020.
