Last week, Motive, the AI-powered integrated operations platform, emerged victorious when a jury in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California delivered a unanimous verdict that it did not infringe any of Omnitracs’ patents.
Motive said the jury’s verdict was a win for the company, its customers, and for innovation across the physical economy.
“Omnitracs chose to wrongfully accuse us of patent infringement, instead of investing their time to build better and more innovative products to serve their customers,” said Shu White, chief legal officer of Motive. “Today’s victory ensures that customers across the physical economy get access to the best tools in the world to improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of their operations.”
Motive said the verdict reinforces what Motive’s customers already know — Motive’s success is driven by the strength of its technology, including industry-leading AI and the breadth of its integrated operations platform.
