1Verge Internet Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. — MA-L 54:36:9B

A MAC address beginning 54:36:9B was assigned by IEEE to 1Verge Internet Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a single MA-L block with no confirmed device type — the prefix traces to a corporate entity rather than to any documented router, set-top box, or IoT product shipped under that name.

1Verge Internet Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. is not a bare shell registration. It converges across multiple independent sources as the original Beijing legal entity behind Youku.com, the Chinese video-streaming service later known as Youku Tudou Inc. (NYSE-listed, acquired by Alibaba Group in 2016).

It appears as a subsidiary or consolidated affiliate in Youku Tudou Inc.'s SEC Form 20-F exhibits, and it was the original applicant for the YOUKU trademark, later reassigned to a renamed successor, Youku Internet Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. A related vehicle, 1Verge Holdings Ltd., was among the shareholders Alibaba bought out on completing the Youku Tudou acquisition.

The primary SEC and trademark documents could not be fetched directly (sec.gov, justia.com, and marketscreener.com each returned HTTP 403), so this corporate lineage rests on converging search-result summaries rather than a primary-document read and is tagged Likely rather than Confirmed.

No forum post, teardown, or product page ties a specific device to 54:36:9B, and no dedicated 1Verge product website was found — consistent with an internal or administrative subsidiary rather than a consumer hardware brand. No malware, botnet, or CVE association was found for this vendor or prefix as of an August 2026 search.

A third-party MAC-vendor database (maclookup.app) lists this prefix as first indexed in October 2014 and last updated in November 2015 — a lookup-database artifact, not an IEEE assignment date; IEEE's public OUI data carries no registration date field at all.

Third-party date artifact

maclookup.app displays "initially registered on 25 October 2014" and "most recent update made on 17 November 2015" for this prefix; udger.com shows no date field at all. IEEE's public OUI data publishes no assignment/registration date, so this is a third-party lookup-database artifact only, never an IEEE fact [Confirmed as an artifact on the cited page; not confirmed as any registration fact] — https://maclookup.app/search/result?mac=54:36:9B, https://udger.com/resources/mac-address-vendor-detail?name=1verge_internet_technology_beijing_co-ltd
