1 case as defendant.
Udemy, Inc. is a publicly traded education technology company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2010 by Eren Bali, Oktay Caglar, and Gagan Biyani, the company is listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol UDMY. For the full year 2024, Udemy reported revenue of approximately $786.6 million and has around 1,400 employees.
Udemy operates a global online marketplace for learning and instruction. The platform connects individual learners and corporate clients with instructors who create and sell a wide range of on-demand, video-based courses. The company's offerings are divided into two main segments: a consumer-facing marketplace where individuals can purchase courses on topics ranging from software development and business to personal development, and an enterprise-focused subscription service called "Udemy Business" that provides curated training solutions for corporate customers.
As a patent litigant, Udemy has the profile of an operating company defending against patent assertions. Based on tracked cases, the company has appeared as a defendant in one suit and has not been a plaintiff. This defensive posture is consistent with companies that are targeted by non-practicing entities (NPEs).
The single tracked case, filed in April 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, was brought by Authentixx LLC. Authentixx is a patent assertion entity that has sued nearly 50 companies since 2023 over a single patent broadly related to webpage authentication.
The accused products are systems and services that verify the authenticity of electronic content.
