Kasowitz Wins Appeal on Behalf of Fintiv in Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Apple

Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP announced today that it has achieved a major victory in a patent infringement lawsuit for its client, Fintiv, Inc., a global digital wallet payment processor, against Apple Inc., the maker of Apple Pay.  Fintiv alleges that the Apple Pay infringes Fintiv’s patent for the management of virtual credit, identity and other cards stored on mobile wallets (the “ ‘125 patent”).  On May 16, 2025,  the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of a Texas federal court granting summary judgment dismissing Fintiv’s complaint.  The case will now be remanded for a trial on Fintiv’s infringement claims.  
 
The Federal Circuit’s decision is another major setback for Apple, which has already failed to invalidate the ‘125 patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”).   

The Kasowitz team representing Fintiv is led by partners Marc E. Kasowitz and Jonathan K. Waldrop and includes partner Marcus A. Barber.
