Symbology Adds a Financial Services Wave to Its Growing QR Codes Campaign

April 27, 2016

Symbology Innovations, LLC has added another wave of lawsuits to its only litigation campaign, which it began last year; the new defendants are eleven banks and other financial services companies: Bank of America (2:16-cv-00443), Beacon Payments (2:16-cv-00444), Citibank (2:16-cv-00450), HSBC Bank (2:16-cv-00447), JPMorgan Chase (2:16-cv-00446), Landmark Bank (2:16-cv-00448), Lifelock (2:16-cv-00458), SunTrust Bank (2:16-cv-00449), and Texas Bank and Trust (2:16-cv-000451). The complaints assert three patents (8,936,1908,651,3698,424,752) from a family of four generally related to using a mobile device to take a picture of an object having “symbology” from which information about the object can be retrieved from a remote server. The accused products are advertisements with QR (quick response) codes on them, which can be used to download additional, related information, which for many of the defendants is a related mobile app.
