Oak IP, LLC

Oak IP LLC is a patent-holding limited liability company. Its Rule 7.1 disclosure in Delaware federal court states it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Monument Patent Holdings, LLC, which is in turn wholly owned by Dominion Harbor Enterprises, LLC — the Dallas-based IP advisory and monetization firm founded around 2013 by David Pridham. Oak IP is privately held, has no public ticker, and discloses no operating business, employees, or revenue of its own; it functions as a litigation vehicle within the Dominion Harbor/Monument structure.

Products / operations: None. Oak IP does not manufacture, sell, or license products or services and is not an operating company. Its only asset of note is a patent portfolio acquired from Acorn Semi, LLC: a December 26, 2024 USPTO assignment recorded 36 patents from Acorn Semi to Oak IP covering semiconductor contact technology — metal-semiconductor junctions, interface layers, and Fermi-level depinning intended to lower contact resistivity in advanced transistor nodes. Dominion Harbor's own portfolio page lists Oak IP as a semiconductor portfolio covering chip performance, miniaturization, and energy efficiency.

Litigation posture: Oak IP is a one-way plaintiff-side entity — one plaintiff filing and one defensive appearance in the tracked data. It is not an operating company defending against NPE suits; it is the asserting party. Its single tracked assertion is against GlobalFoundries, and its single defendant-side appearance is GlobalFoundries' PTAB challenge, so all tracked activity is the two sides of one dispute.

Notable cases: Oak IP, LLC v. GlobalFoundries Inc. et al., No. 1:25-cv-00142 (D. Del., filed Feb. 4, 2025) asserts three patents — U.S. 9,905,691; 10,903,395; and 10,937,880 — against GlobalFoundries' chip manufacturing. Notably, the suit was filed in Delaware, not the Eastern District of Texas. GlobalFoundries responded with inter partes reviews at the PTAB (including IPR2025-01052 on the '691 patent and IPR2025-01129 on the '880 patent), challenging priority dates and validity; IPR2025-01129 was terminated after the parties' joint motion following settlement, with the agreement treated as confidential. Several portfolio patents were previously asserted by Acorn Semi against Samsung in E.D. Tex., reportedly settling for $25 million.
