I'll research Trimble Inc. to verify its profile before writing.
Trimble Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMB) — Founded 1978 by Charles Trimble as Trimble Navigation Limited; renamed Trimble Inc. in October 2016. Headquartered in Westminster, Colorado (moved from Sunnyvale, California in 2022), with 10368 Westmoor Drive as its address. Publicly traded on NASDAQ and an S&P 500 component. Roughly 11,500–12,700 employees depending on source and date; FY2025 revenue was approximately $3.59 billion, with market capitalization in the $12–14 billion range in recent reporting.
Products / operations. Trimble is an operating industrial-technology company selling hardware, software, and services across three reporting segments: Architects, Engineers, Construction and Owners (AECO) — project management, BIM, and construction software such as Trimble Construction One and Trimble Connect; Field Systems — GNSS/GPS receivers, laser scanning, machine control, and positioning services for civil construction, surveying, and geospatial work; and Transportation & Logistics — fleet telematics, routing, and freight software (Transporeon). The company has shifted toward recurring software revenue and divested its agriculture (2025) and mobility (2025) businesses.
Patent-litigation posture. Operating company defending against NPE assertions, not an aggressor. Tracked data show 1 case as defendant and 0 as plaintiff. The sole tracked matter is Navog LLC v. Trimble Inc., filed 2024-05-16 in the District of Colorado (No. 1:24-cv-01378), closed 2024-07-23 — a short-lived §271 infringement suit per RPX.
Context. Plaintiff Navog LLC is characterized in the Stanford NPE Litigation Database and PatSnap as a non-practicing patent assertion entity asserting acquired patent US 10,593,205 B1 (GPS/vehicle warning systems), with parallel suits against TomTom, Garmin, Verizon Connect, Samsara, Powerfleet, Trucker Path, and Omnitracs, often in the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas. Trimble's involvement reflects its GNSS and positioning product lines rather than any two-way patent campaign. No public record indicates Trimble has asserted patents offensively in these tracked matters.
