Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) is a publicly traded technology and engineering firm headquartered in Reston, Virginia. Founded in 1969 by J. Robert Beyster, the company is listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker SAIC. It is a Fortune 500 company with annual revenues of approximately $7.7 billion and around 24,000 to 25,000 employees. The current iteration of the company was formed in 2013 when the original SAIC separated into two companies: one focused on government services, which retained the SAIC name, and a second, Leidos, which focused on capability development.
SAIC is a technology integrator that primarily provides services to the U.S. government, with a significant focus on defense, space, civilian, and intelligence markets. The company's offerings include systems engineering and integration, IT modernization, cloud services, cybersecurity, data analytics, and mission support. It delivers these solutions across various domains, such as supporting military operations, modernizing IT infrastructure for federal agencies, and providing engineering for space and intelligence programs. Approximately three-quarters of SAIC's revenue comes from defense-related contracts.
As an operating company, SAIC's patent litigation posture appears to be defensive and focused on its own technology. The provided data shows one tracked case where SAIC is the plaintiff against the United States government, with no instances of it being a defendant. This case, filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, indicates an assertion of its own intellectual property rights rather than defending against claims from non-practicing entities (NPEs).
The notable case, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) v. United States, was filed in 2017. Court documents indicate the lawsuit involves allegations of patent infringement by the U.S. government. Specifically, SAIC claimed that the government's contracts with other defense companies for night vision goggle weapon systems, which included specialized heads-up displays, infringed upon SAIC's patented technology. The case involves high-value government contracts potentially worth billions of dollars.
