The complaint

MeshConnect LLC v. Envision LED Lighting, Inc., No. 2:26-cv-13121 (C.D. Cal.), is a nine-page complaint filed November 9, 2026. The complaint describes MeshConnect LLC as a Florida limited liability company and Envision LED Lighting, Inc. as a California corporation with its principal place of business in Beverly Hills, California. It alleges, on information and belief, that Envision directly and/or indirectly develops, designs, manufactures, distributes, markets, offers to sell and/or sells infringing products and services in the district. It alleges that venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. 1400(b) because Envision has committed acts of patent infringement in the district and has a regular and established place of business there.

The patents

The complaint asserts U.S. Patent 12,455,070, which issued October 28, 2025, and U.S. Patent 12,571,530, which issued March 10, 2026. Both are titled "Solid-State Lighting Fixtures With Socket Connections for Accessories and Accessories for Use Therewith." The complaint alleges that MeshConnect owns all right, title, and interest in both patents by assignment. USPTO assignment records recorded June 30, 2026 list MeshConnect LLC as the assignee of both patents. The '530 patent is a continuation of the application that issued as the '070 patent.

The complaint asserts at least claim 1 of each patent. Claim 1 of the '070 patent covers a lighting fixture assembly with a body, a socket whose socket body extends through an opening in the body and includes a collar and mounting detents spaced from the collar to snap engage a portion of the body about the opening, the socket being externally accessible from outside the body to receive a plug inserted therein, and an accessory with a housing and a plug receivable in the socket, the housing containing at least one communication component which provides wireless communication.

Claim 1 of the '530 patent covers a lighting fixture assembly with a body, a socket mounted on the body that is externally accessible from outside the body and is in the form of an audio jack, and an accessory with a housing and a plug in the form of an audio jack plug that is receivable in the socket, the housing containing at least one communication component which provides wireless communication.

The accused products

The complaint alleges that Envision infringes by making, using, offering for sale, and/or selling in the United States, and/or importing into the United States without authority or license, a number of its commercial products, including Item No. S-AUD-PIR-SL, which it collectively calls the Accused Products. It alleges that the Accused Products are marketed, offered for sale, sold, and distributed throughout the United States, including in the Central District of California.

The counts and relief

Count I alleges that Envision has directly infringed and is infringing, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, at least claim 1 of the '070 patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. 271 et seq., by making, using, offering for sale, and/or selling the Accused Products in the United States, and/or importing them into the United States. Count II alleges contributory infringement of at least claim 1 of the '070 patent, including that Envision's customers and end-users directly infringe by using the Accused Products in connection with third-party light fixtures, that Envision has had knowledge of the '070 patent and knowledge that its acts were causing or contributing to direct infringement, and that it has sold, offered to sell, or imported the Accused Products knowing they are especially made or adapted for use in an infringing manner and are not staple or non-infringing articles.

Count III alleges direct infringement, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, of at least claim 1 of the '530 patent on the same making, using, offering, selling, and importing theory. Count IV alleges contributory infringement of at least claim 1 of the '530 patent on the same customer-use, knowledge, and especially-made-or-adapted theory.

The complaint asks for a judgment that Envision has infringed at least one or more claims of the patents-in-suit, directly and/or contributorily, literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents; an award of damages sufficient to compensate MeshConnect under 35 U.S.C. 284; costs and expenses; an award of prejudgment and post-judgment interest; and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. MeshConnect demands a jury trial on all issues so triable.
