Company overview. Fingertip Mouse Corporation, doing business as FTM Computer Products, is a privately held company based in Duluth, Minnesota, per directory listings and the assignee address on its patents. The Manta directory lists its opening date as 2005 and estimates annual revenue at roughly $110,000 (a directory estimate, not independently verified); employee count is not publicly disclosed. The company is associated with inventor Michael P. Bailen and principal John Murrin.
Products / operations. FTM Computer Products is the developer and patent owner behind the "Fingertip Mouse," a computer-peripheral system comprising a tracking device worn on a user's finger plus a base that functions like a conventional mouse, with Bluetooth wireless cursor control, scrolling, and selection features. Its U.S. patents (all titled "Fingertip Mouse and Base") include U.S. Patent Nos. 8,648,805, 9,092,075, 9,261,983, and 10,963,070, with priority back to a 2004 provisional application. Industrial "FingerTipMouse" pointing devices sold by third parties (e.g., Stealth Computer) suggest some commercial licensing, but no active, verifiable first-party retail product line was found.
Patent-litigation posture. The company is plaintiff-only in the tracked docket: one case filed as plaintiff, zero as defendant, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division) — a venue known for patent cases. This profile is consistent with a small inventor/licensor entity asserting an acquired or self-developed patent portfolio rather than an operating company defending against infringement claims.
Notable case. The sole tracked matter is Fingertip Mouse Corporation dba FTM Computer Products v. Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (2:26-cv-00760), filed 2026-08-26, which asserts U.S. Patent Nos. 9,092,075, 9,261,983, and 10,963,070 against Samsung, apparently targeting cursor-control / pointing-device technology in Samsung products. No financial backing or litigation-funding arrangements for the company have been identified in public sources.
