Based on the provided litigation data, FIS has the posture of an operating company defending its technology against patent assertions. The company is listed as a defendant in one tracked case and has no record of acting as a plaintiff. This defendant-only profile is typical for a large technology company that becomes a target for patent assertion entities. The single case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a venue historically favored by patent plaintiffs.
The notable case listed, DataTreasury Corporation v. Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., is part of a well-known, large-scale litigation campaign. DataTreasury Corporation is a non-practicing entity that has sued a wide swath of the banking and financial services industry over patents related to electronic check processing and document imaging. DataTreasury has reportedly secured over $350 million in licensing fees and settlements from its litigation, which began in the early 2000s. The case against FIS was one of several filed in May 2013 against financial technology service providers and the banks that use their systems.
Part of a 2013 wave of lawsuits, this case targeted Fidelity National Information Services and its client banks and involved related proceedings at the PTAB and the Federal Circuit.
