Zhuhai RaySharp

I'll research this company before writing the profile.

Let me verify the litigation context and the plaintiff.

Let me verify the sanctions context mentioned in the Chinese filing.

Zhuhai RaySharp Technology Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 珠海安联锐视科技股份有限公司; short name 安联锐视, "RaySharp") is a Chinese video-surveillance manufacturer headquartered at No. 100, Keji 6th Road, National High-tech Zone, Zhuhai, Guangdong. It was founded in 2007 and has been listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (ChiNext) under ticker 301042 since August 5, 2021. It is a standalone public company with no disclosed parent. Per StockAnalysis/S&P data, it reported about 1,007 employees as of December 31, 2025, and market capitalization of roughly CNY 2.8 billion in late 2026; 2025 revenue was about CNY 469 million, down roughly 32% year over year.

Products and operations. RaySharp develops, manufactures, and sells security video-surveillance hardware and software: network HD and coaxial/analog HD cameras (roughly 2MP–32MP), PTZ speed domes, thermal and multi-sensor/panoramic cameras, wireless and battery-powered cameras and doorbells, and back-end NVR/DVR recorders spanning 4–256 channels. It also offers AI video analytics (person tracking, package detection, license-plate recognition) and, more recently, access-control products. It is primarily an OEM/ODM supplier to surveillance brands, with revenue concentrated in export markets — North America, Europe, and Asia — while selling into consumer and engineering/government segments. This is an operating company, not an NPE.

Patent-litigation posture. The case data shows one tracked appearance, all as defendant and none as plaintiff — the profile of an operating company being attacked rather than an assertor. The single suit, Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Zhuhai RaySharp Technology Co., Ltd., No. 6:22-cv-01030, was filed in the Western District of Texas (Waco Division, Judge Alan D. Albright), a plaintiff-friendly venue.

Notable context. Plaintiff Cedar Lane Technologies is a Canadian NPE incorporated in 2019 that has filed hundreds of patent suits, typically asserting acquired patents with former Intellectual Ventures lineage; Unified Patents and Stanford's NPE database characterize it as a patent assertion entity. The RaySharp case involved U.S. Patents 6,972,790 and 8,537,242 (host interface for imaging arrays) and was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff, with no merits ruling. Separately, OFAC added Zhuhai RaySharp to the SDN list on October 30, 2024, under the Russia program (EO 14024), which the company states has restricted exports and reduced revenue.
