Trinity Info Media, LLC

Trinity Info Media, LLC is a non-practicing entity (NPE) that engages in patent assertion. While information regarding its headquarters, founding year, employee count, or revenue is not publicly available, it is identified by patent intelligence firms as an NPE.

The company's operations are centered on asserting intellectual property rights rather than developing or selling products or services. Its patent portfolio primarily focuses on technology related to poll-based networking systems, designed to connect users based on similarities determined through polling answers. Specifically, Trinity Info Media, LLC has asserted U.S. Patent Nos. 9,087,321 and 10,936,685, which describe such systems, including applications on handheld devices with features like swiping for match review.

Trinity Info Media, LLC exhibits a clear patent litigation posture as an NPE, having initiated all six of its tracked cases as a plaintiff and none as a defendant. These cases have primarily been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the California Northern District Court.

A notable case involving Trinity Info Media, LLC is against Covalent, Inc., where the asserted patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 9,087,321 and 10,936,685) were challenged. In 2023, the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision, finding the patents invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 because they were directed to the abstract idea of "matching users who gave corresponding answers to a question" and lacked an inventive concept.
