Plaintiff
1 case as plaintiff.
Charge Fusion Technologies, LLC is a privately held entity primarily engaged in patent assertion. While its website states a mission to have "invented the technology to get electric cars from here to there," there is no public evidence of the company manufacturing, selling, or operating any products or services. The company's headquarters are located in Ridgefield, Connecticut, United States.
The company's patent portfolio focuses on electric vehicle (EV) charging systems. These patents cover technologies such as systems and methods for charging electric vehicles using dynamic charging schedules based on user preferences and attributes of the charge provider, as well as intelligent charging systems that can manage vehicle climate control during charging.
Charge Fusion Technologies operates as a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE), actively asserting its patent portfolio against manufacturers in the electric vehicle industry. Its litigation posture is characterized by initiating infringement lawsuits. The company has a record of one plaintiff case in our database, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, a venue often favored by patent plaintiffs. It also appears as a defendant in one Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) proceeding, which are typically initiated by accused infringers to challenge patent validity.
The most notable cases for Charge Fusion Technologies involve Tesla, Inc. The company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Tesla in the Western District of Texas in October 2021, asserting patents related to EV charging systems. In response, Tesla initiated multiple inter partes reviews (IPRs) at the PTAB to challenge the validity of Charge Fusion's asserted patents. These PTAB decisions have seen appeals to the Federal Circuit, with mixed outcomes regarding patentability. Charge Fusion Technologies has also asserted patents covering electric vehicle charging systems against Polestar Automotive USA, Inc. in the District of Delaware, a case that has reportedly reached a settlement in principle.
