Company profile
I'll research this company before writing the profile.
Let me verify the litigation context and the company's rebranding details.
Turing Video Inc. (d/b/a Turing AI) — Founded 2017 in Silicon Valley, headquartered at 1730 South El Camino Real, San Mateo, California. It is a privately held venture-backed company that rebranded from "Turing Video" to "Turing AI." CB Insights reports roughly $5M raised across seed rounds (Seed VC-II), with investors including ZhenFund, UpHonest Capital, Foothill Ventures, Basis Set, and Wei Guo. Headcount is not firmly established by a primary source; ZoomInfo lists a 51–200 band, while third-party estimate sites give inconsistent figures (one lists ~132 employees). Revenue estimates circulating on aggregator sites are unverified and should not be treated as reliable. No public ticker.
Products / operations. Turing AI sells an AI-powered video surveillance platform, "Turing Vision," combining VMS software with AI analytics, smart video search, real-time alerts, cloud/local hybrid storage, and access control. It offers IP cameras, NVR/bridge hardware, outdoor solar- and 4G/LTE-enabled camera enclosures (branded SkyShield and SolarShield), autonomous security patrol robots, and thermal body-temperature screening cameras introduced during the pandemic. In 2024 it launched "Guardian AI," an agentic video-surveillance product developed with partner Reka. Customers span real estate, retail, casinos/gaming, self-storage, and corporate data centers. This is an operating company with real products, not an NPE.
Patent-litigation posture. Turing Video appears in the database solely as a defendant (0 plaintiff, 1 defendant), consistent with an operating company targeted by a patent assertion entity. The single tracked case is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Turing Video Inc., filed 2022-10-26 in the District of Delaware. Cedar Lane is a Canadian NPE, incorporated 2019, that asserts patents acquired largely from Intellectual Ventures and has filed hundreds of suits, frequently in the Western District of Texas and D. Del.; it is characterized as an NPE by Unified Patents and RPX-affiliated sources. Turing's Delaware venue reflects Cedar Lane's typical forum selection rather than any Turing filing activity.
Other context. Separately from patents, Turing faced a BIPA biometric-privacy class action over its "Shield" mask-detection product and reportedly settled for $300,000; that matter is unrelated to the tracked patent case.
