Uber Technologies, Inc., commonly known as Uber, is a publicly traded technology company founded in 2009. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol UBER. As of early 2026, Uber employed 34,000 people and had a market capitalization of over $150 billion. For the trailing 12 months ending March 31, 2026, the company's revenue was approximately $53.7 billion.
Uber operates a global technology platform that connects consumers with independent providers of transportation, food delivery, and freight services. The company's business is organized into three main segments: Mobility, Delivery, and Freight. The Mobility segment, its largest, offers ride-hailing services connecting riders with drivers of cars, auto-rickshaws, and taxis. The Delivery segment, primarily through the Uber Eats brand, allows consumers to order from restaurants, grocery stores, and other retailers. The Freight segment provides a digital marketplace that connects shippers with carriers for logistics and transportation management.
The company's patent litigation history in the provided data shows it as a defendant in both tracked cases, indicating a posture of an operating company defending against patent assertions. The cases were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and appealed to the Federal Circuit, rather than in districts known for high volumes of plaintiff-favored patent litigation.
Both tracked cases involve a single plaintiff, X One, Inc., and relate to patents on location-tracking and GPS-sharing technology. The litigation, which began in 2016, involved patents for a system that allows for the exchange of GPS information between wireless devices for mutual tracking. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately found claims in one of X One's patents to be obvious in light of prior art.
