CORNELIUS, N.C., Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Modus Corp. (“Alpha Modus”), a leader in AI-powered retail engagement technologies, today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against Mood Media, LLC (“Mood Media”).

Patent Infringement Western District of Texas

The complaint asserts infringement of seven U.S. patents – Nos. 10,360,571; 10,853,825; 12,039,550; 11,042,890; 11,301,880; 11,049,120; and 12,026,731 – covering core innovations in real-time shopper analytics, targeted advertising, inventory management, planogram optimization, and personalized in-store engagement.
