Wapp Tech Corp.

Wapp Tech Corp., together with Wapp Tech Limited Partnership, is a non-practicing entity (NPE) primarily engaged in patent assertion. Publicly available information does not specify a distinct headquarters, founding year, or detailed ownership status for Wapp Tech Corp. as an operating company, consistent with its profile as a patent licensing entity.

Wapp Tech Corp. does not offer commercial products or services. Instead, it asserts a portfolio of patents generally related to software tools used to develop and test applications for mobile devices. These patents cover systems for mobile device application development and testing, including those that simulate network characteristics to evaluate mobile app performance.

The company's litigation posture is overwhelmingly that of a plaintiff, with 9 cases initiated as plaintiff against various technology and financial services companies, compared to a single appearance as a defendant before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Many of Wapp Tech's plaintiff cases are filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue known for its history of patentee-friendly litigation.

Notable cases include a $172.5 million jury verdict against Micro Focus International, PLC in March 2021, which later settled for $67.5 million. Wapp Tech has also pursued litigation against major corporations such as Bank of America Corporation, Salesforce, Inc., Capital One Services, LLC, Samsung Electronics America, Inc., AT&T Mobility LLC, T-Mobile US, Inc., Apple Inc., and Google LLC. The sole defendant case involved Capital One challenging Wapp Tech Corp.'s patent at the PTAB.
