Motive Technologies, Inc.

Motive Technologies, Inc. is a privately held technology company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Founded in 2013 as KeepTruckin, the company rebranded to Motive in 2022. Motive filed for a proposed initial public offering in December 2025. As of late 2025, the company had approximately 4,500 employees and reported annual recurring revenue of $501 million. Its private market valuation was $2.85 billion in 2022.

Motive is an operating company that provides an integrated, AI-powered hardware and software platform for industries in the physical economy, such as trucking, construction, and logistics. Its main offerings include fleet management solutions, vehicle and equipment tracking, AI-powered dashcams for driver safety, and electronic logging device (ELD) systems for regulatory compliance. The company also provides a corporate card and spend management platform (the Motive Card) that integrates with its fleet management system to control fuel and other expenses.

The company's patent litigation history in the provided data shows it acting as a defendant, not a plaintiff. With zero cases as a plaintiff and one as a defendant, Motive fits the profile of an operating company defending itself against patent assertions. The single tracked case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a district historically known for a high volume of patent litigation.

The one tracked case is RFC Lenders of Texas, LLC v. Motive Technologies, Inc., filed in 2022. The plaintiff's name is characteristic of a non-practicing entity (NPE). In a separate case, RFC Lenders of Texas, LLC asserted a vehicle monitoring patent against another company for its use of "Motive Devices" and "Motive Systems," a suit which was ultimately dismissed with prejudice. While outside the provided case list, Motive has also been involved in patent litigation with direct competitors in the fleet management industry.
