Alpha Modus files second patent infringement lawsuit against The Kroger

Alpha Modus (AMOD) filed its second patent infringement lawsuit against The Kroger (KR) on August 29, 2025, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Kroger is willfully infringing on a wide range of Alpha Modus’s patents that form the backbone of next-generation retail technology. In contrast to the prior action, which focused on Kroger’s implementation of Cooler Screens, this subsequent complaint is directed at Kroger itself with respect to its own digital platforms. The complaint asserts seven patents, and a soon to issue patent application, encompassing technologies relating to real-time consumer monitoring, AI-powered advertising, seamless checkout, and advanced inventory management. The accused Kroger technologies include Barrows Connected Store with BlueZoo analytics, Everseen Visual AI technology, Kroger Precision Marketing, 84.51 degrees analytics, KroGO smart carts, Scan, Bag, Go, Kroger Pay, QueVision, and EDGE shelving.
