Verify Smart’s Pattern of Filing and Quickly Dismissing Continues in 2016
Verify Smart Corp.’s pattern of filing and dismissing cases in short order continues in 2016. Earlier this month, two November 2015 suits, one each against Facebook and Yahoo, were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. True to form, Verify Smart has filed another five, this time naming Basecamp (2:16-cv-00239), Dropbox (2:16-cv-00238), Salesforce (2:16-cv-00237), Twitter (2:16-cv-00235), and United Services Automobile Association (2:16-cv-00236). The new complaints, like the old, assert a single patent (8,285,648) generally related to verification of user identity during an electronic transaction. Multi-factor systems for authenticating user identity are the accused products.
