Vican, Inc. d/b/a eTech Parts Plus — Legal name Vican, Inc.; the business operates as eTech Parts Plus (court filings also refer to it as "eTech Parts Plus, LLC," and the N.D. Tex. docket was amended to "Vican, Inc. d/b/a eTech Parts Plus" in October 2025). Headquarters in Southlake, Texas, with an additional office listed in Grapevine, Texas. Founded 2008 (etechparts.com domain registered April 1, 2008). Privately held; no public ticker and no disclosed parent. Third-party aggregator SignalHire estimates 10–50 employees and $1–10M annual revenue — an unverified estimate, not a company-disclosed figure.
Products / services. eTech Parts Plus is an operating wholesale supplier of aftermarket repair parts, tools, and accessories for the wireless-repair industry. Its catalog covers replacement screens (LCD/OLED assemblies), batteries, charging ports, and tools for iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Chromebook, Samsung, and other mobile/tablet devices — including a "Platinum Soft OLED Screen Assembly" (SKU 822-9401) sold as a replacement for unresponsive OLEDs. It also runs an in-house repair service (Werx Repair Services), offers repair training and LCD buyback programs, and customized B2B supply for repair shops. It is not an NPE; it holds no asserted patent portfolio.
Litigation posture. Defendant only: 1 tracked case, 0 as plaintiff — consistent with an operating company being sued, not a patent asserter. In Samsung Display Co., Ltd. v. Wuhan China Star Optoelectronics Semiconductor Display Technology Co., Ltd. et al. (N.D. Tex., No. 3:25-cv-01430), filed June 2025, Samsung Display accused Vican/eTech of selling replacement OLED displays (allegedly supplied by Wuhan CSOT) that infringe OLED patents. The case sits in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas Division), the company's home district — not a plaintiff-friendly venue like the Eastern District of Texas.
Context. eTech Parts Plus was a named respondent in the USITC Section 337 investigation 337-TA-1351 (Samsung Display's aftermarket-AMOLED complaint, instituted January 2023); it was found in default in 2023. Multiple industry suppliers jointly funded a defense effort (GoFundMe) in that matter. Vican/eTech also features in Samsung Display's tear-down evidence exhibits in related PTAB proceedings.
