Based on its litigation history, Alpha Modus is an operating company actively and aggressively enforcing its patent portfolio. The company has filed numerous patent infringement lawsuits as a plaintiff, with no record of being a defendant.

The company's single tracked case, Alpha Modus, Corp. et al. v. Cooler Screens, Inc., filed in August 2025, is central to its business strategy. Alpha Modus alleges that Cooler Screens' smart display systems for retail freezer doors infringe on its patents for in-store consumer engagement and analytics. This lawsuit followed confidential settlements Alpha Modus had previously reached with retailers Kroger and Walgreens regarding their use of the same Cooler Screens technology. In public statements, the company has announced dozens of enforcement actions and multiple settlements, signaling that patent licensing and litigation are key components of its overall monetization strategy.
