Ford Sued over “Digital Version” of “Mostly Paper” Process for Certifying Preowned Vehicles

March 12, 2025

FMReps Consulting Enterprises, LLC has filed an Eastern District of Michigan complaint against Ford (2:25-cv-10658). The inventor-backed plaintiff targets the provision of the Ford eCPO (apparently now called Ford Blue Advantage), a “program for certifying pre-owned (‘CPO’) vehicles”, with two patents generally related to “certifying pre-owned vehicles”. FMReps Consulting pleads that it supplied Ford with a CPO solution (eCPO) from 2017 through 2021 but that Ford “terminated its use of the Ford eCPO and substituted a new supplier for its digital CPO needs”.
