Oakley Capital Investments Limited (OCI) is a closed-ended investment company based in Pembroke, Bermuda, founded in 2007. Its shares are traded on the Specialist Fund Segment of the main market of the London Stock Exchange and it is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. OCI operates as a fund of funds, investing in and alongside private equity funds managed by Oakley Capital. As of March 31, 2026, its Net Asset Value was £1,259 million.
OCI's primary objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation by offering exposure to private equity returns. Oakley Capital, its investment adviser, specializes in high-growth, mid-market European businesses across four sectors: technology, consumer, education, and business services, with a focus on digital business models. The firm emphasizes proprietary deal origination and partners with founders and entrepreneurial managers. Notable indirect investments have included TechInsights (a semiconductor analysis business) and vLex (a legal technology platform), the latter of which was sold in July 2025 after a significant return.
Based on the provided case data, Oakley Capital Investments has a limited patent litigation profile, appearing as a plaintiff in one tracked case and as a defendant in none. This single appearance as a plaintiff in an action before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) suggests that OCI is not primarily an operating company defending against numerous infringement suits, nor does it appear to be a frequent patent assertion entity.
The sole tracked case involving Oakley Capital Investments is NORTH SAILS GROUP, LLC et al. v. Team New Zealand Ltd, where OCI is listed as a plaintiff in a proceeding at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), filed on 2025-07-03. This indicates involvement in an inter partes review or other PTAB-related action. It's important to distinguish this entity from Oakley, Inc., the eyewear and apparel manufacturer, which has been involved in separate federal patent infringement lawsuits against online sellers.
