Xerox Corporation

Xerox Corporation, commonly known as Xerox, is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, though it was founded in Rochester, New York, in 1906 as the Haloid Photographic Company. The company is publicly traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol XRX. As of late 2025/early 2026, Xerox employs approximately 22,900 to 23,000 individuals and reported estimated annual revenues in the range of $6.22 billion to $7.2 billion. Its market capitalization is around $401 million to $423 million.

Xerox is a pioneer in office technology, widely recognized for introducing the first plain-paper photocopier, the Xerox 914, in 1959. Today, the company manufactures and sells a diverse range of office equipment, including scanners, printers, and multifunction systems that combine scanning, printing, copying, emailing, and faxing capabilities. It also provides high-volume digital printing presses and production printers for the graphic communications industry, alongside digital services, managed print services, IT solutions, and workflow automation software.

In terms of patent litigation, Xerox Corporation operates as a defendant, reflecting its posture as an operating company that defends against assertions of patent infringement. The company has been involved in one tracked case, appearing solely as a defendant and not as a plaintiff.

The notable case involving Xerox is MPHJ Technology Investments, LLC v. Ricoh Americas Corporation et al., where Xerox is a defendant. This case ascended to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. MPHJ Technology Investments, LLC is widely identified as a patent assertion entity (PAE) or "patent troll," known for asserting patents related to networked scanning technology, particularly the scan-to-email function, against various businesses.
