INVT SPE LLC is a special purpose entity and non-practicing entity (NPE) engaged in the business of patent assertion. It is a portfolio company owned by investment funds managed by Fortress Investment Group, LLC. The company does not have publicly available information regarding its formation date, headquarters, or employee count.
As a non-practicing entity, INVT SPE LLC does not manufacture products or provide services. Its operations consist of licensing and litigating a portfolio of patents. The company was assigned 740 telecommunications patents that originated with Panasonic and were later acquired by funds managed by Fortress from the assets of Inventergy Global, Inc. The patents asserted in its legal campaigns generally relate to 3G and LTE cellular communications technology.
Consistent with its business model as a patent assertion entity, INVT SPE LLC appears in the database only as a plaintiff, with three tracked cases and no instances of being a defendant. All three of its district court cases, filed in June 2021 against T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T, were brought in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, a popular venue for patent litigation.
In addition to its district court campaigns, INVT SPE LLC has been involved in other notable patent disputes. In 2018, the company filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) against Apple, HTC, and ZTE, alleging that their LTE- and 3G-compliant smartphones, watches, and tablets infringed its patents. The ITC ultimately found no infringement. In 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the ITC's decision.
