Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • RAB won an April 2026 stay, buying time while USPTO reexamines Invictus' patent.
  • RAB posted eleven 2026 openings, showing continued hiring despite industry pressure.
  • June 2026 launches in tape lights and area lights expand cross-sell opportunities.

What critics are saying

  • Invictus' July 2025 patent suit targets WPLEDFC/WS, ALED5T/WS, and FFLED39/WS sales.
  • A 2026 injunction would cripple wattage-selectable fixture revenue and damage distributor trust.

What makes RAB Lighting unique

  • July 2026 launches like TRACK22 and BOA show rapid product refresh depth.
