1 case as defendant.
Keep Truckin, Inc. (now Motive Technologies, Inc.)
Keep Truckin, Inc. is the former legal name of Motive Technologies, Inc., a San Francisco–based fleet-management technology company founded in 2013 by Shoaib Makani, Obaid Khan, and Ryan Johns. The company rebranded as Motive in April 2022. It is headquartered at 55 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, with additional offices including Buffalo, Nashville, Dover (DE), Vancouver, and Bengaluru. Motive filed for an IPO on the NYSE under the symbol "MTVE" in December 2025; its filing reported roughly $429 million in revenue for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, and 4,508 employees as of that date. Prior to the IPO it was private, having raised over $500 million in venture funding from investors including Alphabet's GV, Index Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Insight Partners, Greenoaks, and Scale Venture Partners, reaching a reported ~$2.85 billion valuation in 2022.
Products / services. Motive sells software and hardware for commercial fleets and the "physical economy" — trucking and logistics, construction, oil and gas, field services, and agriculture. Core offerings include electronic logging device (ELD) compliance and hours-of-service monitoring, GPS tracking and telematics, the Vehicle Gateway telematics device, AI-powered dashboard cameras for driver safety and coaching, dispatch and workflow tools, maintenance, and spend management. Revenue is primarily subscription-based, supplemented by hardware and professional services.
Patent-litigation posture. Motive is an operating company, not a non-practicing entity. The tracked cases reflect a defensive posture: it was the sole defendant in the single district-court suit and appeared as nominal "plaintiff" only in the two March 2020 PTAB inter partes reviews it filed against its accuser. It has no plaintiff-side district-court filings.
Notable cases. Innovative Global Systems, LLC v. Keep Truckin, Inc. (D. Del., 1:19-cv-00641, filed April 8, 2019) saw NPE Innovative Global Systems assert two "ELD patents" (U.S. 8,032,277 and 10,157,384) against Motive's Vehicle Gateway; a parallel suit targeted Samsara. Keep Truckin responded with IPR2020-00692 and IPR2020-00694, and the PTAB found all challenged claims unpatentable in 2021, a result affirmed by the Federal Circuit in 2022.
