CardWare Revives NFC Payments Campaign with Suits Against Apple and Google
CardWare, Inc. has rebooted its sole litigation campaign, launched in May 2022 with a case against Samsung, with separate suits against Alphabet (Google) (7:24-cv-00278) and Apple (7:24-cv-00279) in the Western District of Texas. The six asserted patents, asserted in overlapping sets, generally relate to using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to conduct wireless transactions. Apple is accused of infringement through the provision of products (e.g., computers, headsets, laptops, payment cards, smart watches, smartphones, and tablets) that support Apple Pay and Apple Wallet; and Google, over smartphones and smart watches that support Google Pay and Google Wallet.
