iCashe, Inc. has sued Samsung (2:24-cv-00429) in a new Eastern District of Texas complaint, alleging infringement of seven patents—described in the complaint as covering “foundational technologies for contactless mobile payments”—through the provision of devices that support Samsung Pay, highlighting certain Galaxy 5G smartphones that allegedly “contain the NXP SN110U V3 NFC and Secure Element chip”, as confirmed by an EMVCo certification letter excerpted in the complaint. At issue is the support for “NFC- and/or TVMF-based functionalities”. Public records suggest that the plaintiff has received backing from a prominent litigation funder.
