Activemap LLC

Activemap LLC is a New York-based company, primarily operating as a non-practicing entity (NPE) that licenses its patent portfolio. The company was founded in the early 2000s, stemming from an invention in the late 1990s related to interactive electronic maps. Its headquarters are located in Brooklyn, NY.

Activemap LLC's core operation involves the assertion and licensing of patents related to interactive electronic maps. This technology is foundational for "store locator" website functionality and other interactive geographical map applications capable of interacting with list elements. Their portfolio, including patents such as US 8,468,464 and EP 2,336,970, covers graphic interactive interfaces used in various applications like urban planning, real estate, tourism, and technical diagrams. Activemap LLC partners with Vectis IP Ltd, a UK-based IP and technology licensing firm, to manage its global licensing program.

Activemap LLC's patent litigation posture is that of a plaintiff asserting its patent portfolio. The company has no record of being a defendant in tracked patent cases, with all two recorded cases showing Activemap LLC as the plaintiff. Both of these cases have been filed in the Texas Eastern District Court, a venue known for patent litigation. Unified Patents explicitly identifies Activemap LLC as an NPE, noting its patents relate to the "interactive mapping ecosystem on retailer websites."

Recent notable cases include Activemap LLC v. National Vision, Inc. and Activemap LLC v. The Gap Inc., both filed in the Eastern District of Texas in early 2026. The company has also achieved licensing agreements and favorable infringement decisions in Germany through its exclusive European licensee, Activemap Europe GmbH. Its patents have been cited as prior art by numerous leading technology companies.
