Wolf Greenfield & Geotab

Patents are a part of the fundamental building blocks of Geotab’s success. Geotab has secured patents and protects its other intellectual property (IP) rights for the device hardware, firmware, and the software that powers its server and customer-facing tools. They have worked exclusively with Wolf Greenfield for over seven years to protect these market-leading innovations. This has included working closely with Geotab’s in-house team on developing and prosecuting utility and design patents, successfully handling patent infringement matters, providing guidance on freedom-to-operate and design-around options, and importantly, strategic counseling.


Straight From The Team

Whether for contested matters, clearance, patent strategy, or counseling, Geotab is an absolute pleasure to work with. We have established a great working relationship with Geotab, and they truly make us feel as though we are part of their internal team. We view our relationship as much more than merely transactional – we are a true partner in Geotab’s IP development, protection, and defense strategy.

Geotab’s close collaboration with Wolf Greenfield to develop and execute an innovative and aggressive strategy to limit and successfully combat patent litigation with non-practicing entities allows Geotab to assertively protect itself and stay committed to its core objective, to deliver intelligent data-based insights and solutions to its customers worldwide.
