Champion Power Equipment Incorporated

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. is a privately held American company founded in 2003 that designs and manufactures power generation equipment. The company maintains headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has significant operations in Santa Fe Springs, California, as well as facilities in Wisconsin, Tennessee, and Ontario, Canada. While some industry reports have suggested an acquisition, more recent reporting indicates the company has remained private. Employee and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Champion Power Equipment is an operating company focused on the power equipment market. Its primary product lines include portable generators, home standby generators, and inverter generators. The company also manufactures and sells engines, log splitters, chipper shredders, winches, and various lawn and garden equipment. Champion designs and engineers its products in the U.S., with research and development based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while its engines are manufactured in China.

The company's patent litigation posture, based on available data, is that of an operating company asserting its patent rights against a competitor. Champion Power Equipment has been tracked as a plaintiff in one patent case and has not been a defendant. This pattern is inconsistent with that of a non-practicing entity (NPE). The single case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, not a jurisdiction typically associated with high-volume NPE litigation.

The company's sole tracked litigation is the case Champion Power Equipment Incorporated v. Firman Power Equipment Incorporated, filed in November 2023. In this suit, Champion alleged patent infringement against Firman, a direct competitor in the power equipment market, indicating a competitive dispute over technology in their shared industry.
