Company profile

I'll research this company before drafting.

Let me verify ownership and the litigation context.

PerfectVision Manufacturing, Inc. ("PerfectVision") is a privately held telecommunications equipment maker and distributor headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas (16101 La Grande Drive, with additional facilities including 3901 Progress St. in North Little Rock). Sources give conflicting founding dates: company materials and Crustdata/Indeed cite 1979 (originally as Perfect 10 Antenna Co.), while Dun & Bradstreet lists a 1990 incorporation. It is independent and not publicly traded. Size estimates vary widely and are unverified: Arkansas Business ranked it among the state's largest private companies with roughly $600 million in 2019 revenue and about 425 employees, while ZoomInfo/Prospeo estimate 201–500 employees and $100M–$250M revenue. Founder Terry Fleming resigned from the company in 2022.

Operations. PerfectVision manufactures and distributes connectivity hardware for satellite, broadband, CATV, wireless-infrastructure, and fiber markets. Product lines include coaxial cable and F-type/compression connectors (its SignaLoc/PV6SL continuity connector line), splitters and diplexers, video distribution and signal-meter equipment, antennas and mounts, grounding blocks and fittings, hand tools, and wireless/passive-DAS components. It also sells nationwide distribution and third-party logistics, field installation services, retail subscriber-acquisition programs, and a Salesforce-based business software product (Chuzo). It holds its own coaxial-connector patents covering grounding/continuity and torque-sleeve designs.

Litigation posture. PerfectVision is an operating company, not an NPE; its two tracked cases are both against competitor PPC Broadband, Inc. (John Mezzalingua Associates, d/b/a PPC), reflecting a two-way, competitor-versus-competitor connector dispute rather than serial assertion. Neither case was filed in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas: PerfectVision filed a declaratory-judgment action in the Eastern District of Arkansas in October 2012, and PPC responded in February 2013 with an infringement suit in the Northern District of New York.

Notable cases. In PerfectVision Manufacturing, Inc. v. PPC Broadband, Inc. (E.D. Ark., 4:12-cv-00623), PerfectVision sought declarations of non-infringement of PPC continuity patents; the court denied PPC's motion to dismiss and allowed amendment. In PPC Broadband, Inc. v. PerfectVision Manufacturing, Inc. (N.D.N.Y., 5:13-cv-00134), PPC asserted the "Ehret" patent (U.S. 8,366,481) plus business-tort claims over the SignaLoc connector. PerfectVision also petitioned for inter partes review of PPC's U.S. 7,118,416.

PerfectVision Manufacturing, Inc. v. PPC Broadband, Inc.

leave to amend granted; '353 count not among patents construed at Markman; disposition of '353 count not confirmed
Docket:
4:12-cv-00623-JLH
Filed:
2012-10-04

PerfectVision filed a declaratory-judgment action against PPC Broadband. The original complaint named six PPC patents, and PerfectVision later moved to add several newly issued PPC patents including the '353 patent; leave to amend was granted June 10, 2013. The August 29, 2014 Markman opinion identified a different set of six patents then at issue, indicating the '353 count may have dropped out, but the specific disposition order was not retrieved.
