1 case as defendant.
THROUGHTEK CO Ltd (also known as ThroughTek or TUTK) is a publicly held Taiwanese technology company specializing in AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) cloud platform services. Established in July 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan, ThroughTek's headquarters are located in Taipei, with a branch office in Shenzhen, China. As of December 31, 2025, the company reported a trailing 12-month revenue of $11.3 million and a market capitalization of $20.5 million as of May 8, 2026.
ThroughTek offers the "Kalay Platform," an IoT cloud connection platform that provides P2P (peer-to-peer) connectivity technology and cloud-based services. Its services include video streaming, cloud recording, device management, two-way communication, push notifications, and data analytics. The Kalay Platform supports various applications across smart homes, surveillance systems, connected cars, smart buildings, and smart agriculture, catering to business-to-business (B2B) clients such as telecom companies, hardware manufacturers, and solution providers. As of early 2026, over 160 million devices worldwide have been authorized to connect via ThroughTek's solutions.
ThroughTek's patent litigation posture, based on tracked cases, shows one appearance as a defendant in a proceeding initiated by Unified Patents at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Unified Patents is an organization focused on deterring what it considers low-quality patent assertions by Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs). The PTAB challenge suggests ThroughTek is actively defending its intellectual property or patent assertions.
A September 2023 press release from ThroughTek highlighted a "First Victory in P2P Patent Litigation," indicating the company actively engages in defending or asserting its patent portfolio, particularly concerning its core P2P connection technology. This suggests ThroughTek is an operating company that strategically manages and defends its intellectual property.
