Wapp Tech LP

I'll research Wapp Tech LP before writing the profile.

I have good case context. Now let me verify corporate details and history.

Let me check whether Wapp Tech ever had an operating product and confirm its corporate status.

Wapp Tech Limited Partnership (together with its general partner, Wapp Tech Corp.; collectively "Wapp") is a privately held patent-holding entity. U.S. patent records list Wapp Tech Corp. at Red Deer, Alberta and later Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and the sole named inventor across the asserted family is Donavan Paul Poulin (Kelowna, British Columbia). The family claims priority to a June 10, 2005 provisional application. No public ticker, parent company, employee count, or revenue figure is verifiable from public sources, and Wapp does not appear to publish a corporate website or financial disclosures.

Products / operations. The patents describe software for mobile application development: emulating and profiling an app against models of mobile devices, simulating operator-network characteristics (e.g., bandwidth availability, latency, packet loss), and authoring/testing interfaces—several Wapp design patents cover GUI screens, and some claims extend to online marketplaces for app distribution and revenue sharing. There is no public evidence of an active commercial product, customer base, or ongoing operations. The record points to an inventor-started licensing/assertion entity rather than an operating company, though headcount and revenue cannot be confirmed.

Litigation posture. All five tracked cases list Wapp as plaintiff and none as defendant—the profile of a serial asserter, not an operating company defending itself. Every tracked filing was made in the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division, before Judge Mazzant, a venue plaintiffs have historically favored. The Stanford NPE Litigation Database tags Wapp Tech Corp. as an asserter, using categories including "individual-inventor-started" (HPE case) and "product company" (JPMorgan case); RPX has covered the campaign as serial suits against banks.

Notable cases. Wapp's 2018 suit against Micro Focus/Seattle Spinco yielded a $172.6M jury verdict in March 2021, later settled for $67.5M. Parallel 2018 suits against Bank of America and Wells Fargo were stayed pending that judgment, followed by 2021 suits accusing the banks' use of Apple's Xcode and Google's Android Studio; both settled in 2022. A 2018 HPE suit is also tracked, and the December 2023 JPMorgan Chase case ended in dismissal with prejudice. The most recent case—adding Apple, Capital One, and Frost Bank and asserting the '192, '864, '678, '811, and '579 patents—was transferred from E.D. Tex. to the Southern District of California in September 2026 after Apple's venue challenge.
