CardWare, Inc. has launched its first litigation, suing Samsung (2:22-cv-00141) in the Eastern District of Texas, targeting the provision of mobile devices (i.e., smartphones and smartwatches) that support Samsung Pay, as well as the provision of the Samsung Mobile payment card, with five patents generally related to making wireless transactions with an electronic device that is equipped with a near-field communication (NFC) unit. Publicly available records suggest that the plaintiff is backed by third-party funding.
