The investigative attorney at the Office of Unfair Import Investigations, an independent participant in the ITC investigation, stated that Samsara’s claims of infringement are invalid, and Motive products do not infringe on Samsara’s patents for many reasons.

Independent-party attorney finds Samsara's infringement claims 'invalid,' while a new lawsuit against Motive emerges

Nov. 14, 2024
While an attorney with the Office of Unfair Import Investigations found an initial claim against rival Motive 'absurd.' Samsara is doubling down with another lawsuit directed at the 'brazen' actions of its rival's CEO.

An independent-party investigative attorney looking into two competing transportation technology providers' patent infringement case raised questions about the validity of the International Trade Commission complaint. 

Samsara, a trucking telematics and fleet management platform, filed an ITC complaint against rival Motive in February, alleging that the company infringed on three of Samsara’s patents. Last night, Motive announced a development in the case.
