Mobile Banking Tech Providers Wade into Lighthouse Campaign as NPE Keeps Suing Banks

December 5, 2019

Inventor-controlled NPE Lighthouse Consulting Group LLC has hit more than 30 banks over their mobile apps’ remote check deposit features since launching its campaign in July, and now two of the companies responsible for those features have stepped in. On December 2 and 3, Lighthouse was hit with declaratory judgment (DJ) complaints filed by Jack Henry & Associates (6:19-cv-00682) and NCR (2:19-cv-00392), both of which have identified customers of their online banking software that have been accused of infringement. Those latest actions follow another wave of affirmative infringement suits brought by the NPE in mid-November against Independent Financial (2:19-cv-00373), LegacyTexas Financial Group (LegacyTexas Bank) (2:19-cv-00374), Southside Bank (2:19-cv-00375), and Texas Bank and Trust (2:19-cv-00376). Jack Henry’s complaint, meanwhile, echoes an earlier DJ action filed by the company against another NPE that led to a notable appellate ruling on the venue implications of letter-writing campaigns.
