Company profile

Company Overview
Smart & Green is a private company founded in 2008 that designs and sells decorative, wireless, and waterproof LED lighting products. Its U.S. operations are headquartered in Miami, Florida. While the company's website refers to "Smart & Green USA," its precise legal name and corporate structure in the United States could not be definitively verified through public records. Information regarding its employee count, revenue, and ownership is not publicly available.

Products and Operations
Smart & Green is an operating company that manufactures and sells a range of portable, rechargeable LED lighting solutions for indoor and outdoor use by residential and commercial customers. Its product lines include illuminated tables, seating, planters, and various lamp shapes like cubes and spheres. A core feature of its products is the proprietary "SmartMesh" technology, a Bluetooth-based mesh networking system that allows users to connect and control numerous lights simultaneously via a mobile application. The products are marketed as durable, weatherproof, and controllable in terms of color and brightness.

Patent Litigation Posture
Based on the provided data, Smart & Green is a defendant in patent litigation and not an enforcer of its own patents. The company has been sued once as a defendant and has no record of initiating patent lawsuits. This posture is typical of an operating company defending its products against allegations of infringement. Its single tracked case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue frequently favored by patent plaintiffs.

Notable Cases
The company's only tracked litigation is Modulus Systems LLC v. Smart & Green, filed on April 22, 2026. The plaintiff, Modulus Systems LLC, appears to be a non-practicing entity (NPE), also characterized as a patent assertion entity, which has filed infringement lawsuits against numerous other technology and retail companies in the same jurisdiction. The litigation likely targets the Bluetooth mesh networking technology ("SmartMesh") used in Smart & Green's lighting products.
