Stellantis N.V.

Stellantis N.V. is a multinational automotive manufacturer formed in 2021 through the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and the French PSA Group. The company is headquartered in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands, and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext Milan, and Euronext Paris under the ticker symbol "STLA". Stellantis is a major global automaker, with approximately 272,000 employees. For the full year 2025, the company reported net revenues of €153.5 billion.

Stellantis designs, manufactures, and sells vehicles under a wide-ranging portfolio of 14 automotive brands: Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall. The company's operations span the globe, with manufacturing facilities in Europe, North and South America, and Africa, and sales in more than 130 countries. In addition to passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, Stellantis is also involved in components, production systems, and mobility services.

As a major operating company, Stellantis's patent litigation profile is primarily defensive. The company is listed as a defendant in its single tracked case, a common posture for a large technology manufacturer. This suit, Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. Stellantis N.V., was filed in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas in February 2024. The plaintiff, Fleet Connect Solutions LLC, appears to be a patent assertion entity, a common adversary for large automotive companies.
