I'll research this company before writing the profile.
Let me verify the ownership status and the specific case.
Catalina Marketing International, Inc. — commonly shortened to Catalina — is the international arm of Catalina Marketing Corporation, a US shopper-intelligence and retail-media company. Catalina was founded in 1983 and is headquartered at 200 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida. The parent was publicly traded (NYSE: POS) until a 2007 take-private by Hellman & Friedman; it was later backed by Berkshire Partners and, per Catalina/Infillion announcements, was acquired by advertising platform Infillion in February 2026 (terms undisclosed). PitchBook lists roughly 659 employees as of 2026; the Japanese affiliate, Catalina Marketing Japan K.K., separated from the US parent in 2023 and was acquired by BIPROGY in January 2026.
What it does. Catalina operates a large in-store consumer-promotion and coupon network at food, drug and mass-merchant retailers, layered with shopper-purchase data and analytics. Its offerings include behavior-based targeting (Catalina Category Marketing), in-store point-of-sale print media, digital/mobile/CTV advertising, retail-media-network infrastructure, and healthcare marketing; CatalinaRx, a point-of-care pharmacy print network, launched in 2025. The company states its network reaches ~130 million US households and processes billions of shopping trips annually. It holds a substantial patent portfolio tied to couponing, promotion and shopper-data technology (third-party databases report hundreds of granted US patents).
Litigation posture. The structured data shows a single tracked case, with Catalina as defendant (0 plaintiff, 0 other): CoolSavings.com, Inc. (a/k/a Interactive Coupon Marketing Group, d/b/a CoolSavings) v. Catalina Marketing International, Inc. That one-sided defendant count is consistent with an operating company rather than an NPE.
Context. The Catalina–CoolSavings dispute over coupon-dispensing technology is well documented externally as Catalina Marketing International v. coolsavings.com (N.D. Ill.; Fed. Cir. 289 F.3d 801 (2002), and 115 F. App'x 84 (2004)), turning on claim construction of Catalina's '041 patent and whether CoolSavings' web-based coupon site infringed. Note that the caption direction in our tracked record (CoolSavings as plaintiff) differs from the published Federal Circuit caption; we report the tracked case as recorded without resolving that discrepancy.
