I'll research inMusic, LLC to build an accurate profile.
Let me check the specific case and the plaintiff's profile.
Company overview. inMusic, LLC is the Delaware-registered operating entity of inMusic Brands, Inc., commonly shortened to "inMusic." It is headquartered in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and is privately held, owned by founder and CEO Jack O'Donnell. Sources differ on the founding date: the corporate history traces to DJ-equipment maker Numark (founded 1971 in Edison, New Jersey), which O'Donnell bought in 1992, while Wikipedia dates the inMusic enterprise to 2012. Third-party databases (Built In, Crustdata, Craft.co) list roughly 400–450 employees, but that figure is not confirmed by the company and may understate global headcount; no verified revenue figures are public.
Products / operations. inMusic is an operating company and brand-holding parent in music technology, spanning hardware and software for DJs, producers, musicians and pro-audio users. Its brands include Akai Professional, Alesis, Alto Professional, Denon DJ, Denon Professional, HeadRush, ION Audio, M-Audio, Marantz Professional, MARQ Lighting, Moog Music, Numark, Rane, Stanton, SoundSwitch, AIR Music Technology and Sonivox. The company has grown largely by acquisition (Alesis 2001, Akai Professional 2005, M-Audio/AIR 2012, Denon DJ and Marantz Professional 2014, Rane 2016, Stanton 2020, Moog 2023) and in May 2026 agreed to acquire the insolvent Native Instruments group, including iZotope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx. It maintains offices in the US, Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and the UK.
Patent-litigation posture. inMusic appears in the tracked data once, solely as a defendant (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case). That profile is consistent with a product company defending infringement claims rather than an entity asserting patents. The single tracked suit sits in the District of Delaware, a common venue for patent plaintiffs.
Notable case. Semisilicon Technology Corp. v. inMusic, LLC (D. Del., filed 2025-12-29) accused ION Audio-branded products with multi-color LED lighting — including the Uber Boom Ultra speaker — of infringing U.S. Patent 8,124,988 on integrated LED lamp package structures. Semisilicon is a Taiwanese LED/IC maker that litigates its own patents and is not a classic shell NPE. The Delaware docket shows the case was voluntarily dismissed in May 2026 and the dispute refiled in the Southern District of Florida against inMusic, LLC, inMusic, Inc., inMusic Brands, Inc. and ION Audio, LLC.
Semisilicon sued inMusic, LLC in the District of Delaware involving US 8,124,988, accusing ION Audio consumer electronics including the ION Audio Uber Boom Ultra. Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case, and the court terminated it on May 7, 2026.
