1 case as defendant.
X. Commerce Inc., doing business as Magento, is a Los Angeles, California-headquartered company known for its open-source e-commerce platform. Originally developed by Varien Inc. in 2007, Magento gained significant traction before being acquired by eBay in 2011, then spun off to private equity firm Permira in 2015. In June 2018, Adobe Inc. finalized its acquisition of Magento for $1.68 billion, making it a subsidiary.
Magento provides a comprehensive e-commerce platform built on PHP, offering solutions for businesses of all sizes, from small startups to multinational corporations. Its product offerings include Magento Open Source (a free platform) and Adobe Commerce (a paid, enterprise-level platform, formerly known as Magento Commerce, available both on-premise and as a cloud service). The platform's features cover essential e-commerce functionalities such as content creation and promotion, robust product and catalog management, customer accounts, secure checkout processes, order management, SEO optimization, marketing automation, and multi-channel selling. It supports various product types, including physical goods, digital downloads, and virtual services. As of early 2026, over 111,000 live stores operate on the Magento platform.
In terms of patent litigation, X. Commerce Inc. d/b/a Magento maintains a posture as an operating company that defends against patent infringement claims. According to available data, the company has been a defendant in one tracked case and has not initiated any patent suits as a plaintiff. The sole tracked case, Express Mobile, Inc. v. Adobe Inc. et al., was filed in the California Northern District Court in 2021, indicating Magento is defending alongside its parent company, Adobe Inc. This case aligns with the company's status as a developer and provider of e-commerce software.
Express Mobile, Inc. sued Adobe Inc. and X. Commerce Inc. d/b/a Magento. An IPR of patent US 9,063,755 was initiated, and an expert report was written for the defendants.
