Alpha Modus Files Coordinated Patent Enforcement Actions Against V-Count and Stratacache, Advancing the Standardization of In-Store AI Infrastructure

Insights
Coordinated patent suits signal active IP defense that could protect commercial deployments but carry litigation risk and uncertain near‑term outcomes.
Alpha Modus asserts foundational patents covering real‑time in‑store AI functions that underpin its deployed systems. Enforcing those patents via parallel actions against V‑Count and Stratacache aims to curb unlicensed use of analytics, tracking, and POS automation capabilities and to preserve licensing leverage tied to the company’s commercial footprint and reseller agreements.
The near‑term business impact depends on case trajectories and remedies sought. Patent suits can secure licensing revenue or exclusionary relief if claims are upheld, but they also create legal costs, distraction, and timing uncertainty; validity challenges, venue rulings, or narrow claim construction could blunt enforcement value. The complaints cite specific U.S. patent numbers and target named product modules, which gives the cases concrete, litigable issues rather than vague allegations.
Watch for pleadings and early case milestones: service and initial responses, any motions to transfer or dismiss, claim construction schedules, and inter partes review filings at the USPTO over the next 6–24 months. Also monitor statements about existing licensing agreements or commercial deployments and the announced national sales expansion planned for
CORNELIUS, N.C., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Modus, Corp., a U.S.-based retail technology company and subsidiary of Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOD), today announced the filing of two coordinated patent infringement lawsuits against V-Count Global Holding Ltd. in the Eastern District of Texas and Stratacache, Inc. in the Central District of California. The complaints assert core patents that form the backbone of Alpha Modus’ real-time retail intelligence stack covering shopper-behavior analytics, product-interaction tracking, sentiment detection, store-layout optimization, inventory intelligence, digital engagement, and point-of-sale workflow automation.
These patents, some originating from inventions dating back to 2013, are the foundation of technologies Alpha Modus has spent years deploying, commercializing, and integrating across its expanding network of retailers, partners, and platform operators.
BUILDING, DEPLOYING, AND COMMERCIALIZING, NOT ABSTRACT CLAIMING
Alpha Modus’ patented systems were not created for litigation. They were engineered and tested within live retail environments over the course of more than a decade. The Asserted Patents describe operational systems:
- real-time video-based customer analytics,
- product-level interaction detection,
- movement and stop tracking,
- inventory-level signaling,
- sentiment-based engagement,
- personalized offers and promotions,
- POS-workflow automation and purchase-flow optimization.
These capabilities power the company’s commercial deployments, reseller agreements, and technology partnerships. Alpha Modus continues to invest heavily in the infrastructure now shaping the next generation of in-store AI. Protecting this investment is part of ensuring a fair and standardized ecosystem across the industry.
COORDINATED ENFORCEMENT AGAINST COMPANIES USING THE SAME CORE CAPABILITIES
The complaint alleges that V-Count’s analytics modules, including demographic analysis, heat-mapping, behavior tracking, product-interaction intelligence, and conversion systems practice key patented systems such as U.S. Patent Nos. 10,853,825; 10,977,672; 11,042,890; 11,049,120; 11,301,880; 12,026,731; 12,039,550; 12,354,121; and 12,423,718.
Stratacache Case (C.D. California)
The Stratacache complaint asserts infringement of the same core patent family, including:
- U.S. Patent No. 11,049,120 – real-time layout optimization and shopper traffic analytics
- U.S. Patent No. 11,301,880 – real-time inventory management
- U.S. Patent No. 11,042,890 – customer assistance and sentiment-driven engagement
- U.S. Patent No. 12,039,550 – in-store behavioral analytics and customer experience enhancement
- U.S. Patent No. 12,026,731 – personalized in-store marketing and advertising
- U.S. Patent No. 12,354,121 – real-time shopper tracking and POS workflow automation
- U.S. Patent No. 12,423,718 – product-retention tracking and point-of-sale discrepancy detection
The complaint details how Stratacache’s Walkbase Analytics, Presence, Flow modules, PRN display networks, smart-shelf systems, and sensor-driven digital media environments collect and process real-time shopper movement, zone engagement, dwell times, product interactions, device-based presence, and checkout workflows.
ENFORCEMENT AND COLLABORATION ARE BOTH PARTS OF ECOSYSTEM LEADERSHIP
