HBCU Tech Foundation Subsidiary Sues Apple and Green Dot in the US over Former Rembrandt IP Portfolio

October 13, 2024

HBCU Messaging US LP (f/k/a Rembrandt Messaging Technologies II, LP), a subsidiary of the HBCU Technology Foundation, has accused Apple and Green Dot (1:24-cv-01199) of infringing seven mobile messaging patents in a single Western District of Texas complaint. Apple is accused of infringement through the provision of the Apple Cash service and supporting hardware (e.g., laptops, smartphones, and smartwatches) and software (e.g., Apple’s Messages app and related servers/infrastructure) products, while Green Dot is targeted over the implementation of its payment technology in the Apple Cash service. This litigation is not the first between the plaintiff and Apple; the new complaint recounts in some detail the history of a German action filed against Apple (“and others”) in June 2015, an action that remains active today.
