16 cases as plaintiff.
Fleet Connect Solutions LLC is a patent assertion entity with no known products or operations. Multiple patent risk management firms identify the company as a non-practicing entity (NPE) associated with Empire IP LLC, a patent monetization firm. The company was formed in Texas and acquired a portfolio of patents, including assets originally developed by Conexant Systems, Airify Communications, and Intellectual Ventures.
The company's business model is centered on licensing and enforcing its patent portfolio. The patents asserted by Fleet Connect Solutions generally relate to wireless communication and fleet management technologies. Specific technologies covered by the patents include wireless data transmission, GPS-based vehicle tracking, electronic logging devices (ELDs), multi-input multi-output (MIMO) wireless systems, and managing data across multiple wireless protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular.
Consistent with its status as an NPE, Fleet Connect Solutions is exclusively a plaintiff in patent litigation, having filed at least 16 lawsuits since 2020 while never being named as a defendant. The company files its cases in plaintiff-friendly jurisdictions, including the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas. Its litigation campaign has targeted a wide range of companies, particularly in the automotive, telecommunications, and logistics sectors.
Targets of its litigation campaigns have included major automotive manufacturers like Ford, General Motors, Honda, Stellantis, Tesla, Toyota, and Volkswagen. It has also sued telecommunications and technology companies such as AT&T, Cisco, DISH Network, T-Mobile, and Verizon. The lawsuits typically accuse defendants' products—ranging from connected vehicles and dashcams to fleet telematics and networking equipment—of infringing its portfolio of wireless communications and fleet management patents.
