I'll research this company to verify its profile.
Travelocity.com, Inc. (commonly "Travelocity") is a U.S. online travel agency founded in 1996 as a division of Sabre Group, then part of AMR Corp. It is headquartered in the Dallas–Fort Worth area (Southlake/Dallas, Texas). Travelocity became publicly traded in 2000 through its merger with Preview Travel, was taken back in-house by Sabre in 2002, and was acquired by Expedia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) for $280 million in January 2015; it operates as a brand within Expedia Group today. Travelocity has not reported standalone financials since becoming a Sabre subsidiary, so no independent employee or revenue figures are verifiable; Sabre's 2014 S-1 reported the Travelocity segment contributed $269 million in adjusted revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Expedia Group itself reported roughly 17,000 employees and $12.8 billion revenue in 2023.
Products and services. Travelocity is a consumer-facing OTA, not a patent holder. It sells airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars, cruises, and build-your-own vacation packages through travelocity.com and travelocity.ca. Adjacent operations have included Travelocity Business (corporate travel), the Travelocity Partner Network (affiliate/white-label distribution), and, historically, the lastminute.com European business and igougo.com (both divested in 2015). North American booking technology and supplier relationships have been powered by Expedia since a 2013 marketing agreement.
Litigation posture. Travelocity is an operating company and appears in this database purely as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case). That profile is consistent with a large consumer web brand being targeted by patent holders rather than an entity asserting patents itself.
Notable case. The sole tracked matter is InternetAd Systems, LLC v. ESPN, Inc. et al. (N.D. Tex., Dallas Division, filed November 18, 2003), in which Travelocity was named alongside ESPN and The New York Times Co. Plaintiff InternetAd Systems, a licensing vehicle formed by patent-enforcement firm TechSearch (Northbrook, Illinois), asserted four patents (U.S. 5,572,643; 5,737,619; 6,185,586; 6,457,025) covering interstitial, pop-up, and pop-under online advertising. The suit sought unspecified damages and an injunction, illustrating an early NPE campaign over web advertising rather than travel technology. The venue was the Northern District of Texas, not the Eastern District of Texas.
InternetAd Systems, LLC sued ESPN, Inc., The New York Times Company, and Travelocity.com, Inc. in the Northern District of Texas. The asserted patents were 5,572,643, 5,737,619, 6,185,586, and 6,457,025; plaintiff sought injunctive relief and damages. A defense-side discovery order issued Oct. 8, 2004, and final disposition was not verified.
