I'll research this company to verify its profile.
Let me verify the litigation context and the plaintiff entity.
NFI Interactive Logistics LLC is a U.S. freight and logistics operating company and an affiliate of NFI Industries, the family-owned third-party logistics (3PL) provider founded in 1932 in Vineland, New Jersey. NFI is headquartered in Camden, New Jersey and remains privately held by the Brown family (Sidney Brown, CEO). Public sources describe NFI as generating roughly $3.5–3.9 billion in annual revenue with about 17,000–18,000 employees (Forbes; NJBIZ; Crain's New York). NFI Interactive Logistics itself is not separately public or separately capitalized; it is an operating subsidiary/affiliate. Its FMCSA record (USDOT 1486168, MC-559886) lists it as a Camden, NJ carrier and property broker with authority dating to 2006 and roughly 3,300 power units (FMCSA-derived directories).
Operations. NFI Interactive Logistics operates dedicated truckload and drayage transportation for NFI's customers — primarily dedicated dry-van fleets, drop-and-hook and dedicated retail freight, and intermodal/port drayage. Its FMCSA filings identify general freight, intermodal, and reefer/flatbed equipment. Parent NFI's broader business lines include dedicated transportation, warehousing and distribution, eCommerce fulfillment, brokerage, transportation management, port drayage, intermodal, global logistics, and industrial real estate.
Litigation posture. It is an operating company defending, not an asserter. The tracked data show 1 case, 0 as plaintiff, 1 as defendant, consistent with a company targeted by a patent assertion entity. The single suit, Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. NFI Interactive Logistics LLC (No. 2:25-cv-00524, E.D. Tex., filed 2025-05-13), sits in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas. That venue is characteristic of NPE campaign filings rather than operating-company disputes.
Notable case context. Plaintiff Fleet Connect Solutions LLC is identified by Unified Patents as an NPE and entity of Empire IP, asserting acquired wireless/telematics patents (e.g., U.S. Patent 7,742,388, covering WLAN/mobile bandwidth) in dozens of suits against telematics, fleet-management, and consumer-electronics defendants including Werner Enterprises, PACCAR, CalAmp, and Geotab. The NFI case is recorded as closed; the case data do not specify the disposition, so no outcome is asserted here. The technology focus — wireless communications and vehicle/fleet telematics — matches NFI's business as a large fleet operator, which is likely why it was named.
Fleet Connect Solutions LLC asserted the '153 patent against NFI Interactive Logistics LLC in E.D. Tex. This is an unmarked portfolio campaign case; the narrative notes that '153 inclusion is likely but not confirmed in its sources. The case is closed.
