2 cases as defendant.
Ubiquiti Inc. (formerly Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.) is a U.S. networking-equipment company founded by Robert J. Pera in 2003 and headquartered at 685 Third Avenue, New York, NY. It is publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker "UI" (originally UBNT; renamed Ubiquiti Inc. in 2018). Headcount is small relative to revenue: roughly 1,500–1,700 employees, with about 1,134 full-time-equivalent R&D personnel as of June 30, 2024. Reported revenue was $2.57B in fiscal 2025 and $3.27B in fiscal 2026; market capitalization was approximately $35B in September 2026 (PitchBook/WSJ/Fox Business data; company 10-K and proxy).
Products/operations. Ubiquiti designs and sells wireless and wired networking gear plus related software platforms, distributed through 100+ distributors, online retailers, and its own webstores in 200+ countries. Enterprise products run on the UniFi platform: Wi-Fi access points, switching, cloud gateways, Protect video surveillance, Access door-control systems, and Talk VoIP. Service-provider products run on UISP: airMAX and airFiber wireless broadband/backhaul, EdgeMAX routing, and UFiber GPON. Consumer offerings include the AmpliFi mesh Wi-Fi line and 60 GHz Wave products. Manufacturing is outsourced to contract manufacturers, primarily in Vietnam and China.
Litigation posture. Ubiquiti appears in the database only as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 2 defendant cases), consistent with an operating company defending against patent-assertion suits rather than a two-way litigant. Both tracked matters were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California — not the Eastern District of Texas — by XR Communications, LLC d/b/a Vivato Technologies.
Notable cases. XR Communications (Vivato) v. Ubiquiti Networks was filed April 19, 2017 (C.D. Cal. No. 2:17-cv-02968) alongside parallel suits against Cisco, Netgear, Ruckus, Belkin, and others, asserting patents originating with the 2000s-era Vivato Networks Wi-Fi portfolio. A second Vivato suit followed in June 2021 over the '728 and '376 patents and was consolidated with related actions. Ubiquiti's 10-K filings describe it as vigorously defending and note it has filed its own IPR petitions (e.g., against the '376 patent); the Federal Circuit affirmed invalidation of Vivato's '231 patent claims in 2023.
2017 Central District of California case asserting the '231 patent along with U.S. 7,062,296 and 7,729,728. It was consolidated and stayed, then resolved via the indefiniteness/collateral-estoppel path.
2021 wireless networking campaign case in C.D. Cal. against Ubiquiti Networks; Ubiquiti later filed IPR2024-00148. Listed by XR as involving the '376 patent in IPR2022-00613 mandatory notices.
