Brodti Inc.

Brodti Inc. is a patent assertion entity (PAE), also referred to as an inventor-controlled plaintiff, focused on monetizing intellectual property in the digital advertising and data analytics space. The company asserts its patented architecture helped enable scalable, advertiser-funded creator monetization. Brodti Inc. owns U.S. Patent No. 11,416,898, which covers foundational architecture for predetermined-impression, content-integrated advertising. This patent describes a system involving user-generated content, advertising placed within content, predetermined ad impressions, tracking and monetization, and revenue at scale.

Brodti Inc. has one tracked case, appearing as a plaintiff in a dispute before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Their litigation posture indicates they are an NPE asserting an acquired or internally developed portfolio, as evidenced by their sole plaintiff case and zero defendant cases.

The notable tracked case is Brodti Inc. v. Google LLC. This case, initially filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in January 2024, asserted US11416898B2 against Google LLC, specifically targeting Google's AdSense and Google Ads platforms. The initial district court case was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice just one day after filing. Brodti Inc. refiled the suit against Google in the District of Delaware in February 2024. The Delaware case was subsequently stayed in August 2025, pending the resolution of an Inter Partes Review (IPR) at the PTAB (IPR2025-00472), which challenged all claims of U.S. Patent No. 11,416,898 on obviousness grounds.
