Linfo IP, LLC

Linfo IP, LLC is a Texas-based limited liability company with its principal place of business in Austin, Texas. It operates as a non-practicing entity (NPE) or patent assertion entity, focusing on acquiring and asserting intellectual property rights rather than manufacturing or commercializing products directly. It is identified as a subsidiary of Dynamic IP Deals, LLC. Linfo IP, LLC has a portfolio that includes 40 patents.

The company's primary operation involves patent licensing and enforcement. The patents it asserts generally relate to data management technologies, including systems, methods, and user interfaces for organizing unstructured data objects and for discovering and presenting information in text content with different view formats. These technological areas are relevant to a broad range of industries, particularly those with significant digital operations, such as e-commerce and online retail.

Linfo IP, LLC maintains an active patent litigation posture exclusively as a plaintiff, with a total of five tracked cases and zero appearances as a defendant. This aligns with the profile of a patent assertion entity. Its litigation has spanned various U.S. District Courts, including the Northern District of Texas, the Southern District of Texas, the Western District of Texas (Waco Division), and the Southern District of New York. The Western District of Texas is frequently chosen by NPE plaintiffs due to its docket efficiency and historically plaintiff-favorable procedural history.

Notable cases include Linfo IP, LLC v. Air Oasis, LLC et al. (N.D. Tex., 2024-12-19) and Linfo IP, LLC v. The Gap, Inc. (S.D. Tex., 2024-05-20). The company has previously asserted U.S. Patent No. 9,430,131, which covers "System, Methods, and User Interface for Organizing Unstructured Data Objects," and U.S. Patent No. 9,092,428, related to user interfaces for discovering and presenting information. One of its cases, Linfo IP, LLC v. Trustpilot, Inc. (S.D.N.Y.), involving the '428 patent, was dismissed.
