The saga of the DataTreasury Patents continues....
Back in December, A Patent examiner rejected all the claims relating to one of DataTreasury's key patents. Many would argue this opinion could lead to eventual invalidation of DataTreasury's patents.
Interestingly, on January 23 2007, Diebold announced they had agreed to license the DataTreasury Patents. Diebold joins a list of ever-growing companies who have decided to settle and/or license these patents from DataTreasury. This list includes JPMorgan Chase, RDM, NetDeposit and others.
Here's the latest news: In January, representatives from DataTreasury met with the USPTO to discuss the previous mentioned rejections (which were set in motion by a challenge from First Data Corp.). A summary of this meeting produced by the USPTO not only seems to reject the argument of prior art in the challenge, but also now provides DataTreasury the opportunity to refine and add additional detail to the claims in their patents.
A pdf of the summary is available in the Patent & Legal Issues section of the RDC Community Forums. Please register to access the RDC Exclusives section. Registration is free, and required to download the pdf.
