1 case as defendant.
I'll research this company before writing the profile.
Let me verify the specific U.S. entity and the NPE plaintiff.
U.S. Epson, Inc. is a U.S. holding company and wholly owned subsidiary of Seiko Epson Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6724), the Japanese printing and imaging group commonly known as Epson. U.S. Epson sits above Epson America, Inc., Seiko Epson's U.S./Americas sales, marketing and distribution arm, which is headquartered at 3131 Katella Ave., Los Alamitos, California. Seiko Epson was founded in 1942 and is headquartered in Suwa, Nagano, Japan; it reported consolidated revenue of ¥1,413.3 billion and roughly 74,600 employees as of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with a market capitalization in the $4–5 billion range.
Operations. Epson develops, manufactures and sells inkjet printers and printheads, commercial and industrial printing systems, scanners, 3LCD projectors, wristwatches and watch movements, industrial SCARA robots, crystal devices, semiconductors, and microdevices. The group reports three segments: Printing Solutions (the largest by revenue), Visual Communications, and Manufacturing-Related & Wearables.
Litigation posture. U.S. Epson, Inc. appears in the tracked data exclusively as a defendant — 4 defendant appearances, 0 as plaintiff — the profile of an operating company on the receiving end of NPE suits rather than an assertive licensor. All four tracked matters are the same campaign: RAH Color Technologies LLC v. Seiko Epson Corp. et al., filed December 20–21, 2010 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York (two entries are duplicates).
Context. RAH Color Technologies LLC is a Virginia-based licensing vehicle formed in 2005 by inventor Dr. Richard A. Holub, holding a portfolio of roughly 22 patents on color management, ICC profiling and display calibration; it asserted those patents against a broad set of printer and imaging vendors, including Adobe, Xerox, EFI, Heidelberg and Samsung. The Epson suits reflect that color-rendering technology focus, matching Epson's core printer and projector business. The Western District of New York venue is tied to RAH's Rochester, New York patent ownership, not a plaintiff-friendly Texas forum. The track record beyond these 2010 filings is not reflected in the case data provided.
RAH Color Technologies LLC asserted the '546 patent against Seiko Epson Corp. and affiliated Epson entities. Defendants filed answers/counterclaims in 2011, and the case closed without a reported merits judgment.
