Creative Realities Denies Patent Infringement and Vows Resolute Defense

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Creative Realities, Inc. (NASDAQ: CREX) (the “Company” or “CRI”), a leading provider of digital signage, media and AdTech solutions, announced today that it will vigorously defend itself against accusations of patent infringement alleged in a lawsuit filed in Texas federal court by Alpha Modus, Corp., a subsidiary of Alpha Modus Holdings Inc. (AMOD). The lawsuit alleges, in essence, that CRI’s digital signage solutions infringe on AMOD’s patented technologies for real-time consumer behavior analysis, targeted marketing, digital engagement, inventory management, and AI-driven retail personalization.

AMOD’s quarterly report for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 states that it initiated patent infringement actions against five other companies since the beginning of 2024, and AMOD has announced the commencement of at least four similar lawsuits over the past few weeks. The Company believes that the allegations in the lawsuit are part of AMOD’s tactic of filing patent infringement claims to offset concerns about its financial position and history of operating losses. According to its SEC reports, AMOD had a working capital deficit of $9,381,880 on June 30, 2025, and has no reported revenues.

“AMOD declined to contact CRI prior to filing its claims, and we appear to be part of its ongoing efforts to bring claims against revenue-generating companies to distract from its own lack of revenue-generating activities,” said Rick Mills, CEO of CRI. “We categorically deny AMOD’s allegations and will vigorously defend against them. We will continue to develop product solutions for our customers to revolutionize the consumer shopping experience, and AMOD’s suit will not distract or deter us.”

Though years of internal development and acquisitions, CRI has developed a platform that designs, develops and deploys digital signage-based experiences for enterprise-level networks utilizing its Clarity™, ReflectView™, and iShowroom™ Content Management System (CMS) platforms. The Company is actively providing recurring SaaS and support services across diverse vertical markets, including but not limited to retail, automotive, digital-out-of-home (DOOH) advertising networks, convenience stores, foodservice/QSR, gaming, theater, and stadium venues. In addition, CRI assists clients in utilizing place-based digital media to achieve business objectives such as increased revenue, enhanced customer experiences, and improved productivity. This includes the design, deployment, and day to day management of retail media networks to monetize on-premise foot traffic utilizing its AdLogic™ and AdLogic CPM+™ programmatic advertising platforms.
