In August, Telcom Ventures LLC filed its first lawsuit, accusing Samsung of infringing eight patents through the provision of Samsung Pay in an Eastern District of Texas complaint. In a new Southern District of Florida case, the inventor-controlled plaintiff has asserted the same eight patents, this time against Apple (1:24-cv-23837), targeting the provision of the Apple Pay service and iPhones that support it, as used together to make mobile payments via biometric authentication and near-field communication (NFC).
