GOTV Streaming, LLC

GOTV Streaming, LLC is a patent assertion entity (PAE) that owns patents related to streaming media delivery and user interface technologies. Its headquarters, year of founding, and financial size (employee count, revenue, or market cap) cannot be definitively verified from public sources. It appears to operate primarily through the assertion of its patent portfolio.

The company's patent portfolio includes U.S. Patent Nos. 8,478,245, 8,989,715, and 8,103,865. These patents generally describe methods and systems where a server receives a content request from a wireless device, tailors the content specifications to that device's capabilities (such as screen size), and then delivers the customized content for rendering. The underlying concept aimed to simplify content delivery across diverse wireless devices by centralizing the tailoring process using generic templates.

GOTV Streaming, LLC's litigation posture is that of a patent licensor or NPE. The company's sole tracked case shows it as a plaintiff (1 case) with no appearances as a defendant. This aligns with its characterization as a patent assertion entity.

The company's most prominent tracked case is GOTV Streaming, LLC v. Netflix, Inc., filed on October 17, 2022, in the California Central District Court. Initially, a jury found Netflix infringed one of GOTV Streaming's patents (US8989715) and awarded $2.5 million in damages. However, this verdict was overturned on appeal. On February 9, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the district court's judgment, ruling that all three asserted patents were invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 for claiming abstract ideas, effectively nullifying the prior damages award. During the initial litigation, Netflix's attempt to compel the disclosure of GOTV Streaming, LLC's third-party litigation funding documents was denied by the Central District of California in May 2023.
