MacroPoint Adds Patent for Freight-Tracking Software

The company said its patent portfolio now includes nearly 150 patent claims covering its technology, which provides shippers, freight brokers and third-party logistics providers with real-time location tracking, delivery monitoring and event notifications.

“We continue to protect our freight-tracking software with new patents to verify the exclusivity of our technology for automated tracking of freight by brokers, shippers and 3PLs,” MacroPoint President Bennett Adelson said. “We are also expanding the number of patent claims to define what our patents cover so our growing customer base has proof that we own the underlying methods and intellectual property and that MacroPoint technology is properly licensed.”
