Company overview. Wix.com Ltd. (commonly "Wix") is an Israeli software company headquartered at 5 Yunitsman Street, Tel Aviv. Founded on October 5, 2006, by Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami, Nir Zohar, and Giora Kaplan, it is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker WIX (IPO in 2013). Public sources report roughly 5,300 employees and annual revenue of about $1.99 billion (FY2025), with trailing-twelve-month revenue of roughly $2.06 billion as of mid-2026. It is not a subsidiary; it operates as an independent public company.
Products / services. Wix provides a cloud-based, software-as-a-service web-development platform that lets individuals and businesses build, customize, and manage websites without coding. Its offerings include a drag-and-drop website builder, web templates and editors, web hosting, domains, search-engine-optimization tools, a logo maker, email-marketing services, an app marketplace, and payment-processing services. Revenue comes mainly from freemium subscription tiers, transaction fees on payments, app-marketplace commissions, and resold third-party services. It competes with platforms such as Squarespace, GoDaddy, and WordPress.
Patent-litigation posture. Wix is an operating company that appears in our database solely as a defendant: 0 tracked cases as plaintiff, 1 as defendant. Its single tracked matter is a patent-infringement suit filed in 2022 by Peter Henrik Pedersen in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas — a venue (especially under Judge Alan D. Albright) widely used by patent plaintiffs. There is no evidence of Wix affirmatively litigating patents.
Notable case. In Peter Henrik Pedersen v. Wix.com, Inc. (6:22-cv-00925, W.D. Tex.), Pedersen — an individual inventor identified by Unified Patents as associated with AiPi Solutions — accused Wix of infringing U.S. Patent No. 6,965,920, directed to a "profile responsive electronic message management system." The same patent was asserted against numerous other tech companies, including Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Zendesk, and Monday.com. The case against Wix was dismissed in August 2023; the PTAB later found all challenged claims of the patent unpatentable, a decision the Federal Circuit affirmed in March 2026.
