Marshall Feature Recognition, LLC is a non-practicing entity (NPE), also known as a patent assertion entity, that engages in patent litigation. The company does not appear to have any products, services, or business operations outside of patent licensing and enforcement. Information about its specific formation date, headquarters, or ownership is not publicly available, which is common for entities of this type.
The company's primary activity is asserting its patent portfolio against other companies. Its litigation campaigns have centered on patents related to machine-readable codes in advertising. For example, one patent it has frequently asserted is described as relating to a printed advertisement with a machine-recognizable feature, such as a QR code, that links to electronic data.
Marshall Feature Recognition's patent-litigation posture is exclusively that of a plaintiff. As indicated by the provided case data, the company has initiated at least three lawsuits as a plaintiff and has not been a defendant in any tracked cases. All three of the listed cases were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue historically favored by patent plaintiffs.
The tracked cases show litigation against major technology and retail companies, including Amazon.com, Inc., Barnes & Noble, Inc., and Apple Inc. Litigation intelligence from RPX Corporation indicates that the company's litigation campaigns have been active since at least 2009. Court filings show that another entity, Marshall Electronics Company, LLC, has been listed as a co-plaintiff in these cases.
