Apple Pay allegedly infringed Apple and Visa were accused

May 23 news, according to Bloomberg News, Apple and Visa were also sued by the Greater Boston area company Universal Secure Registry, which accused them of collaborating on mobile payments infringing their four patents. In a lawsuit filed by the Federal Court of Wilmington, Delaware, USR said that as early as 2010, it issued a series of letters to Apple describing its patented technology and seeking to establish a partnership before Apple Pay is still far from .

According to the lawsuit filed on May 21st, one of the letters described in detail the USR patent that uses biotechnology to verify identity on smartphones. The company’s chief executive, Kenneth P. Weiss, also sought to establish a partnership with Visa at the same time, “a high-level representative of the two companies conducted a series of secret discussions.” Both Apple and Visa did not accept the USR's proposal, but chose to cooperate with each other to integrate this technology into Apple Pay.

The lawsuit alleges that in September 2014, Apple publicly announced the launch of the Apple Pay service, "declaring some of the same features that the USR introduced to Apple and Visa in 2010." USR’s attorney stated in the lawsuit: “The patented technology that USR introduced to Apple and Visa does not require the storage and sending of payment card accounts. Similarly, Apple also calls Apple Pay not to store credit cards on the device.”

In response, both Apple spokesman Josh Rosenstock and Visa spokeswoman Amanda Pires declined to comment. The USR in Newton, Massachusetts, hopes to receive cash compensation and asks the court to ban the further use of its invention.
