1 case as defendant.
Unitech America, Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) vendor founded in 1979. Unitech America is based at 6182 Katella Ave, Cypress, California, and its corporate disclosure filing in the litigation below identifies Unitech Electronics Co., Ltd. as its affiliate. The parent is publicly traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (ticker 3652). Parent-level figures from financial data providers put headcount near 430 and trailing-twelve-month revenue around NT$2.65bn (~US$85m), with market capitalization of roughly NT$3bn. Unitech America's own headcount and revenue are not separately disclosed, and its exact year of incorporation could not be verified from a primary source.
Products / operations. The group designs, manufactures and sells AIDC hardware under the "unitech" brand: rugged enterprise mobile computers and handheld PDAs (Android and Windows, PA/EA/HT series), 10-inch industrial rugged tablets (TB series), wearable computers, 1D/2D barcode scanners (MS series), UHF/HF RFID readers, and mobile printers, along with device-management and data-collection software (MoboLink, StageGO). Primary end markets are retail, warehousing and logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, field service and government. This is an operating hardware business, not an NPE.
Patent-litigation posture. Operating company defending. In our data Unitech America appears once — as a defendant, with zero plaintiff-side suits — the profile of a product company being attacked rather than an assertor.
Notable case. Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Unitech America, Inc., No. 2:21-cv-00387 (E.D. Tex., filed Oct. 15, 2021), was brought in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas. Cedar Lane is a Canadian patent assertion entity that was the most prolific U.S. patent plaintiff of 2022 and primarily asserts patents acquired from Intellectual Ventures-linked entities. Unitech America answered with counterclaims and moved to dismiss for improper venue under Rule 12(b)(3); the parties stipulated to dismissal with prejudice, which Judge Rodney Gilstrap entered on Nov. 22, 2021.
Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. sued Unitech America, Inc. in E.D. Tex., asserting U.S. Patent 10,346,105. The filing was reported in 2021, but the final disposition was not confirmed in the narrative.
