20 cases as plaintiff.
Alpha Modus, Corp. is a subsidiary of Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc., a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: AMOD) founded in 2014 and headquartered in Cornelius, North Carolina. The holding company is small, with financial filings from April 2026 indicating low revenue and that the company is "quickly burning through cash." Alpha Modus describes itself as a vertical AI company focused on retail technology and intellectual property.
The company's stated focus is on AI-driven, in-store retail technology. Its offerings and patents cover systems for real-time consumer behavior analysis, AI-powered personalized marketing, smart inventory management, and next-generation checkout technologies. While Alpha Modus presents a strategy of commercializing its technology through product deployments and partnerships, it also engages in what IP industry analysts describe as patent assertion. Through a subsidiary, Alpha Modus Financial Services, the company is also developing and deploying a financial services kiosk platform called "Alpha Cash" in retail stores.
As reflected in its litigation history of 36 lawsuits as a plaintiff and none as a defendant, Alpha Modus is an aggressive patent enforcer. The company publicly refers to its litigation as a "systematic approach" to monetizing its intellectual property. A significant number of its lawsuits are filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a popular venue for patent plaintiffs.
The company's enforcement campaign targets a wide array of major national retailers and retail technology providers. Notable defendants include Circle K, Lowe's, Walmart, The Home Depot, Walgreens, Best Buy, and Mood Media. The asserted patents are described as covering the "core infrastructure layer" of modern AI-driven retail, including IoT sensors, machine learning algorithms for consumer engagement, smart shelving, and digital signage. Alpha Modus has announced several early-stage settlements, though the terms have generally remained confidential.
