I'll research this company before writing the profile.
Let me verify a few more details.
Eget Liber, Inc. is a privately held, early-stage environmental technology startup headquartered at 235 Harrison Street (Suite 21), Syracuse, New York — the address of The Tech Garden, home of the GENIUS NY accelerator. It was founded in February 2019 by Jason Dean, a former central New York middle school science teacher, who is listed as founder and CEO. Crunchbase and Syracuse-area press identify GENIUS NY as its primary disclosed backer; Eget Liber was one of five 2020 GENIUS NY finalists and reportedly received a $500,000 investment as a runner-up. Tracxn lists roughly four employees (as of mid-2026). No revenue, valuation, or public-ticker information is available from reliable sources; the company is not publicly traded and no parent owner is disclosed.
Products / operations. Eget Liber ("eget liber" is described as Latin for "chemical free") is developing an autonomous, semi-submersible remotely operated underwater vehicle that uses ultraviolet light to kill cyanobacteria — blue-green algae — in freshwater lakes. The system pairs the vehicle with an unmanned aerial vehicle that uses spectral analysis to locate algal blooms, and later descriptions reference three chemical-free treatment methods. Target customers are lake associations, municipalities, and lakefront property owners, with early fieldwork reported around Skaneateles Lake.
Litigation posture. The database shows exactly one tracked appearance: as plaintiff, zero as defendant. This is an operating company, not a non-practicing entity or shell licensor, and it shows no patent-assertion activity. The single tracked matter is captioned Eget Liber, Inc. et al. v. Clear Water Systems Limited et al., filed 2025-12-01 in New York Supreme Court, Onondaga County. Per UniCourt, the case is docketed as a Commercial and Trade – Contract action rather than a patent infringement suit, and it remains open, with a defendant motion to dismiss and a plaintiffs' request for injunctive relief appearing in the docket. It is a state-court commercial venue, not a plaintiff-friendly patent district such as the Eastern District of Texas.
Context. Co-plaintiffs include RanMarine Technologies BV and individuals Jason Dean and Richard Hardiman; the defendant is Clear Water Systems Limited and Richard James Boyd. The docket and a Northern Ireland DAERA response to a freedom-of-information request connect the dispute to a U.K./Northern Ireland SBRI-funded project to build algae-treatment apparatus, in which Eget Liber and RanMarine were Phase 1 collaborators. I could not verify the case's merits or outcome.
