I'll research this company to build an accurate profile.
Let me verify the ownership structure and portfolio sourcing.
Hanger Solutions, LLC is a privately held Georgia limited liability company, based in Fulton County, Georgia, whose Rule 7.1 corporate disclosure statements in federal court identify Brainbox Innovations, LLC as its corporate parent. Press reporting and RPX characterize it as an affiliate of Atlanta-based patent monetization firm IPinvestments Group LLC (d/b/a IPinvestments Group), founded by Michael McLaughlin. The entity was formed around 2019 to hold patent assets; no public source verifies employee count or revenue.
Products / services / operations: Hanger Solutions is a non-practicing entity with no operating business. Its own complaints state that it "does not sell, offer to sell, make, or use any products itself." Its asset base is a patent portfolio acquired from Intellectual Ventures LLC (IV) in late 2019 — reported as the bulk of roughly 3,800 assets IV divested to a group of Georgia LLCs tied to IPinvestments Group. Hanger later assigned portions of that portfolio to other NPEs, including 21st Century Garage LLC (~73 US assets, automotive) and Kioba Processing, LLC. Reported portfolio figures (e.g., PatSnap listings around 2,970 applications) should be treated as third-party estimates.
Patent-litigation posture: Hanger Solutions is a patent assertion entity that litigates exclusively as plaintiff — consistent with the case data above showing 1 plaintiff case and 0 defendant cases. Its campaigns involve networking and computer-communications patents acquired from IV, asserted against telecom, ISP, and networking defendants: Extreme Networks (D. Del., Jan. 2021), Squarespace (D. Del., May 2021), Charter Communications (W.D. Tex., Jan. 2022), and Altice/Cequel Communications (W.D. Tex., Apr. 2022). Filings have appeared in both Delaware and the Western District of Texas (Waco Division), a plaintiff-favorable venue, as well as the Middle District of Georgia.
Notable tracked case: The single tracked matter, Hanger Solutions, LLC v. Mediacom Communications Corporation (No. 4:22-cv-00152-CDL, M.D. Ga., filed Sept. 28, 2022), asserted five networking patents (U.S. 6,098,098; 6,119,171; 6,430,623; 6,772,227; 6,868,160) against Mediacom's Xtream high-speed internet services and website infrastructure, covering domain-name routing, device configuration, and cryptographic key generation. Mediacom answered and counterclaimed in November 2022; the case was terminated in late December 2022 as a dismissal.
