WAG Acquisition, LLC

Company overview. WAG Acquisition, LLC (styled WAG Acquisition, L.L.C. in pleadings), doing business as SurferNETWORK, is a privately held New Jersey limited liability company historically headquartered at 3 Gold Mine Road, Flanders (Roxbury Township), NJ. Its streaming business dates to 1998; the current entity traces to related Grywalski-family companies — SurferNetwork.com, Inc. and SN Acquisition, LLC — that developed and assigned the underlying patents. No public revenue, headcount, or ticker exists; PatSnap lists it as a private company with roughly 18 patents. President and member William Grywalski has led the company since its founding.

Products / services. WAG describes itself as an operating internet-broadcasting business under the SurferNETWORK name, providing live and on-demand audio/video streaming to terrestrial radio stations and content providers, plus a royalty-reporting tool for SoundExchange filings. In practice, its most visible activity is enforcing a family of streaming-media patents covering buffering and delivery systems (e.g., U.S. 8,327,011; 8,185,611; 8,364,839; 8,122,141; 9,742,824; 10,567,453). Industry databases (PatSnap, Unified Patents) characterize it as a patent assertion/licensing entity, and it has no significant disclosed revenue or headcount.

Patent-litigation posture. WAG is a serial plaintiff: its one tracked appearance is as appellant-plaintiff at the Federal Circuit in WAG Acquisition, LLC v. Google LLC / Amazon.com, Inc. et al. (consolidated appeals 24-1627 through 24-1634), with zero defendant-side appearances in our database. Its district-court campaigns (against Google, Amazon, Netflix, Disney/Hulu, and webcam-streaming operators such as Friendfinder, Streamray, Technius/stripchat.com, and Beronata) have included multiple filings in the Eastern District of Texas before Judge Gilstrap, per PatSnap docket analysis.

Notable cases / context. The tracked Federal Circuit appeal concerned PTAB IPR decisions invalidating WAG streaming-patent claims; the court affirmed via Rule 36 in March 2026, and an August 2026 opinion affirmed PTAB anticipation findings against the '011 patent in a reexamination appeal. Earlier suits date to 2008 (v. XM/Sirius Satellite Radio). One district opinion references a lender (WLF) holding a security interest in the patents, with consent rights tied to WAG's "Patent Assertion Strategy" — evidence of litigation-funding arrangements typical of assertion entities. No revenue or damages figures are publicly available.
