Orca Security's patent litigation posture indicates an operating company actively asserting its intellectual property. The company has appeared as a plaintiff in two tracked cases before the United States Patent and Appeal Board (PTAB), with no appearances as a defendant. These PTAB proceedings were part of a larger patent infringement dispute in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

The notable cases, Orca Security Ltd. v. Wiz Inc., involved Orca Security alleging that its competitor, Wiz Inc., infringed on six of its cloud security patents. Wiz counter-sued, alleging Orca infringed on its patents. Orca's initial complaint, filed in July 2023, claimed Wiz copied its patented technology after Wiz's founders were exposed to Orca's architecture while previously working at Microsoft. In December 2025, the PTAB ruled that claims in three of Orca's six asserted patents were unpatentable. The comprehensive litigation between the two rivals concluded in January 2026, when both companies agreed to dismiss all claims and counterclaims with prejudice, with each party bearing its own legal costs.
