ParkerVision designs, develops, and licenses proprietary radio frequency (RF) technologies and integrated circuits primarily for use in wireless communication products. The company holds an extensive patent portfolio related to RF technologies that enable efficient power use, reduced cost and size, and enhanced performance in mobile handsets and other wireless devices. While ParkerVision previously offered products like an automated video camera control system and a consumer distributed WiFi product line called Milo, it discontinued product sales in 2019 and now focuses primarily on intellectual property development, licensing, and patent enforcement.

ParkerVision's litigation posture is primarily that of a patent assertion entity (PAE) or non-practicing entity (NPE). The company's business model largely relies on licensing its intellectual property and revenues from patent infringement disputes. Of its three tracked cases, ParkerVision is a plaintiff in two cases and a defendant in one, consistent with a patent assertion strategy. Its plaintiff cases are filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, a venue known for patent litigation. The single defendant case is before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), where its patents are being challenged.

Notable cases include ParkerVision, Inc. v. NXP Semiconductors N.V. et al. (2023) and ParkerVision, Inc. v. MediaTek Inc. et al. (ongoing). ParkerVision also has ongoing litigation and appeals against Qualcomm and other telecommunications manufacturers, alleging infringement of its RF patents. The company's financial performance, including a reported net income in 2023, has been significantly tied to proceeds from patent licensing and settlement agreements. ParkerVision has funded its litigation costs through contingent arrangements with legal counsel and third-party financing.
