Company profile

Evicam International, Inc. ("Evicam") is a private Colorado corporation registered in the state in 1998 (Colorado entity ID 43528483, registration no. 19981230686). Its registered office has been listed at 4100 E. Mississippi Ave., Suite 1900, Denver, CO 80246, with Larry McClymonds as registered agent; an older directory listing shows a Denver address at 1670 Broadway. It is not publicly traded and, per its corporate disclosure filing in the litigation below, it identified no parent corporation other than itself. No public source verifies its employee count, revenue, or market capitalization; business directories list only a handful of contacts, indicating a very small operation.

Products / services. Press coverage of the 2017 trial (Texas Lawbook, via counsel's published summary) described Evicam as a Denver-based supplier of surveillance systems for law-enforcement vehicles — i.e., in-car incident video recording equipment, the same market as defendant WatchGuard Video. I could not verify a current product catalog, customer list, or active commercial operations from Evicam's own website, SEC filings, or mainstream business press. Its principal documented assets are the two patents it owns and asserted: U.S. Patent No. 6,211,907 ("Secure, vehicle mounted, surveillance system," issued 2001) and U.S. Patent No. 6,950,013 ("Incident recording secure database," issued 2005), both naming independent inventors Robert Jeff Scaman and Jeffrey A. Hamilton and assigned to Evicam.

Litigation posture. Evicam appears in the case data as a one-way plaintiff: a single infringement suit, Evicam International, Inc. v. Enforcement Video, LLC d/b/a WatchGuard Video, filed Nov. 24, 2015 in the Eastern District of Texas (Tyler Division, later Sherman Division, No. 4:16-cv-00105). Its two "defendant" entries are not new suits but PTAB inter partes reviews of its own patents (IPR2017-00245 on the '013 patent; IPR2017-00051 on the '907 patent) filed by WatchGuard. That plaintiff-only/defensive-IPR pattern reflects a small patent owner enforcing a narrow portfolio against a competitor in a patent-friendly venue, not a serial filer: no other infringement suits by Evicam appear in the tracked data.

Notable cases. In July 2017 a Sherman jury returned a unanimous verdict of no infringement and invalidity of the asserted '907 claims; the agreed amended final judgment (Aug. 2017) had each side bear its own fees. The parallel IPRs were later terminated jointly after Evicam granted WatchGuard a covenant not to sue on both patents.
