It has been named as a defendant in one tracked case and has not appeared as a plaintiff. This pattern is typical for a technology company facing suits from patent assertion entities. The single case listed, RFC Lenders of Texas, LLC v. Omnitracs, LLC, was filed in the Eastern District of Texas, a venue historically popular with patent plaintiffs.

The case against Omnitracs was brought by RFC Lenders of Texas, LLC, an entity that has asserted a patent related to vehicle monitoring and tracking against other companies in the technology sector.
