EKO NORTH AMERICA, INC. has an active posture in patent litigation, appearing as a plaintiff in its single tracked case. This case is an action at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), where the company, along with GUANGZHO EKO TRADING DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD., is listed as a plaintiff. This typically indicates that EKO is challenging the validity of a patent held by a competitor, rather than defending against infringement allegations.
