Company profile

Intent IQ, LLC is a New York-based advertising technology company and a subsidiary of the AlmondNet Group. Founded in 2009, the private company has its headquarters in Long Island City, NY, and a research and development center in Israel. One source estimates the company has around 26 employees and generates $2.3 million in annual revenue. Intent IQ operates as a sister company to the data marketplace Datonics, with parent company AlmondNet, Inc. focusing on research, development, and licensing of its intellectual property.

Intent IQ is an operating company that specializes in "identity resolution" for digital advertising, providing cookieless and privacy-focused solutions. Its core products enable clients to identify and target users across various devices—such as laptops, smartphones, and connected TVs—without relying on traditional third-party cookies. Key offerings include a universal "IIQ ID," bid enhancement services for programmatic advertising, and audience onboarding and activation for cross-device marketing campaigns. The company states its technology is backed by a portfolio of over 170 granted patents covering behavioral targeting, profile-based bidding, and cross-device attribution.

Despite having active products and services, Intent IQ maintains an aggressive patent litigation posture, exclusively as a plaintiff. All 20 of its tracked patent cases have been filed as a plaintiff, with zero cases as a defendant. This enforcement activity is characteristic of a patent assertion entity, and reports have noted that the company's litigation-related income may exceed its revenue from technology services. Lawsuits are frequently filed in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, including the U.S. District Courts for the Western District of Texas and the District of Delaware.

The company, often alongside its parent AlmondNet, has sued many major technology and media companies. Notable defendants include Amazon, Google, Adobe, Yahoo, Roku, and T-Mobile. The patents asserted are described as foundational to online advertising. A significant case against Amazon, filed by AlmondNet in the Western District of Texas, resulted in a $122 million jury verdict in June 2024. The dispute was officially resolved in April 2026, when the parties announced a settlement and a patent license agreement.
