Defendant
1 case as defendant.
I'll research Sensata, Inc. to build an accurate profile.
Let me check the specific case and confirm entity details.
Company overview. The entity sued as "Sensata, Inc." corresponds to Sensata Technologies Holding plc (NYSE: ST), the public parent of the Sensata group. It is incorporated in England and Wales but headquartered at 529 Pleasant Street, Attleboro, Massachusetts. The business traces its founding to 1916 (as the General Plate Company) and took the Sensata name in 2006 when it was spun out of Texas Instruments; the parent has been NYSE-listed since its 2010 IPO. It is a large accelerated filer with roughly 16,700–19,400 employees reported across recent sources and net revenue of about $3.7 billion for FY2025. It is not an NPE and has no parent owner.
Products / operations. Sensata is an industrial technology manufacturer of sensors and sensor-rich solutions plus electrical protection, power management, and control components. Reporting is split into three segments: Automotive; Industrials; and Aerospace, Defense & Commercial Equipment (previously organized as Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions). Product lines include pressure, temperature, position, speed, and force sensors; tire pressure monitoring systems; high-voltage contactors, fuses (e.g., GigaFuse, PyroFuse), and circuit breakers; thermal-management sensors; power conversion and battery-management electronics; and brushless DC motors. End markets include passenger vehicles, heavy vehicles and off-road equipment, HVAC and refrigeration, appliance, charging infrastructure, data/telecom, and commercial and military aircraft.
Patent-litigation posture. The tracked record is a single case, and Sensata appears only as a defendant (0 as plaintiff, 1 as defendant) — consistent with an operating company defending an infringement claim rather than an active two-way litigant. That lone suit was filed in the Central District of California, not a plaintiff-friendly Texas venue.
Notable case. CyboEnergy, Inc. v. Sensata, Inc. (C.D. Cal., filed 2021-10-15; docketed against Sensata Technologies Holdings, PLC) asserted U.S. Patents 8,786,133 and 9,331,489, covering solar power mini-inverters. Unified Patents has characterized CyboEnergy as an NPE and sought prior art on the '489 patent; CyboEnergy describes itself as an operating maker of CyboInverters and has filed similar suits against Northern Electric Power, Aptos Solar, Altenergy, Hoymiles, Duracell, and Yotta Energy. The patents relate to solar inverter technology, not Sensata's core sensing lines.
CyboEnergy, Inc. sued Sensata, Inc. on October 15, 2021, asserting U.S. Patent 8,786,133. CyboEnergy later alleged that other defendants knew of the '133 patent from at least the Sensata filing date because Sensata used APsystems inverters. The outcome was not determined in the retrieved material.
