Westinghouse Electric Corporation is the name of a historic American industrial company founded in 1886, as well as several successor and related entities. The primary operating company today is Westinghouse Electric Company LLC, a nuclear power company headquartered in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Formed in 1999 from the nuclear division of the original corporation, it is a private company owned by a consortium of Brookfield Renewable Partners (51%) and Cameco (49%) since 2023. The company has over 11,000 employees. The legacy Westinghouse Electric Corporation acquired CBS Inc. in 1995 and renamed itself CBS Corporation in 1997, selling off its industrial businesses.

The modern Westinghouse Electric Company is focused exclusively on the nuclear power industry. Its products and services include the design and construction of nuclear power plants, such as its AP1000 pressurized water reactor, as well as nuclear fuel, plant maintenance, instrumentation, and control systems for utilities globally. The "Westinghouse" brand name is also licensed for use on a wide range of consumer products, including portable power generators, which are manufactured and sold by other entities. This is a legacy of the original, highly diversified Westinghouse Electric Corporation, which was a major manufacturer of electrical equipment and home appliances.

As a defendant in one tracked patent case, Westinghouse demonstrates the posture of an operating company facing infringement claims. The company has no record as a plaintiff in the database. The single case against it was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, not a venue typically associated with high-volume patent assertion.

The notable litigation, Champion Power Equipment Inc. v. Westinghouse Electric Corp. et al., was filed in 2025. In this case, Champion alleges that multi-fuel portable generators sold under the Westinghouse brand infringe upon ten of its patents. The named defendants include Westinghouse Electric Corporation and other entities involved in the investment and sale of the accused products, highlighting the legal complexities of brand licensing arrangements in patent disputes.
