Signify Netherlands BV, commonly known as Signify, is a Dutch multinational lighting corporation headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The company was founded in 1891 as part of Philips' lighting division and was spun off as a separate entity in 2016, initially named Philips Lighting N.V., before rebranding to Signify in 2018. Signify is publicly traded on the Euronext Amsterdam exchange under the ticker symbol LIGHT. As of 2025, the company reported approximately 27,000 employees and sales of EUR 5.8 billion. Its trailing twelve-month revenue was reported as $6.48 billion as of March 31, 2026.
Signify is a global leader in lighting products, systems, and services for both professional and consumer markets, with a strong focus on energy efficiency and connected lighting for the Internet of Things (IoT). Their extensive product portfolio includes LED lamps and tubes, indoor and outdoor luminaires, lighting controls, and lighting components, sold under brands such as Philips (under license), Philips Hue, WiZ, Color Kinetics, and Interact. The company's offerings aim to enhance public spaces, workplaces, and homes through smart and sustainable lighting solutions.
In terms of patent litigation, Signify Netherlands BV appears as a defendant in its sole tracked case, indicating a posture of an operating company defending against assertions. The company has zero recorded cases as a plaintiff. The single tracked case, Stingray IP Solutions LLC v. Signify Netherlands BV et al., filed on February 8, 2021, is situated in the plaintiff-friendly venue of the Texas Eastern District Court. This aligns with a common scenario where operating companies are targeted by non-practicing entities (NPEs).
