Vivint Offers Statement On ADT Patent Infringement Suit

On June 29, 2021, ADT filed a complaint against Vivint, a leading smart home company, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas and a companion case with the U.S. International Trade Commission claiming that Vivint infringed two ADT patents. Vivint believes the claims asserted are completely without merit and that the complaint is a reactionary countersuit to a patent infringement complaint Vivint had previously filed on February 25, 2021 against ADT in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah. Vivint's complaint asserts that ADT infringes six Vivint patents and Vivint is continuing to prosecute its claims in that case. Vivint intends to vigorously defend against ADT's allegations.
