First National Bank of Omaha

I'll research this company before writing the profile.

Let me verify the litigation context.

First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO) is a US bank headquartered at the First National Bank Tower, 1601 Capitol Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska. Founded December 10, 1857, as Kountze Brothers Bank and chartered nationally in 1865, it is the principal operating subsidiary of First National of Nebraska, Inc. (FNNI), a bank holding company primarily owned by the Lauritzen family; FNNI's stock is quoted on OTC Pink (FINN). Wikipedia reports $30.78 billion in total assets for the bank (2024); FNNI's own site states the holding company and affiliates hold roughly $35 billion in assets and employ more than 4,500 people. It rebranded as "FNBO" in 2020.

The bank provides retail, commercial, corporate and investment banking, wealth management and consumer lending through about 120 branches in eight Midwestern states, plus FNBO Direct, a direct bank. Products include deposit accounts and CDs, mortgages, auto, personal, home-equity and student loans, credit and debit cards, agricultural and SBA lending, treasury management and insurance/brokerage services. It has long been a major credit card issuer and affinity-card provider (Amtrak, Scheels, World of Warcraft); its merchant-acquiring business was sold to TSYS in 2010–2011. It is an operating company, not a patent monetization vehicle.

Its litigation posture is defensive and one-way. Both tracked matters stem from a single dispute with Intellectual Ventures II LLC, an affiliate of Nathan Myhrvold's Intellectual Ventures. FNBO was the defendant in Intellectual Ventures II LLC v. First National Bank of Omaha, No. 8:13-cv-00167 (D. Neb., filed May 29, 2013; terminated 2019), litigated in its home district rather than a plaintiff-friendly venue such as the Eastern District of Texas. Its only plaintiff-side entry is the PTAB matter captioned Compass Bank et al. v. Intellectual Ventures II LLC (filed May 20, 2014), in which FNBO joined Compass Bank and Commerce Bancshares as co-petitioner challenging IV-owned patents — a defensive post-grant challenge, not assertion of its own portfolio.

IV sued eight banks in mid-2013 after licensing talks failed. Against FNBO it asserted US patents 5,745,574 (security infrastructure for electronic transactions), 6,826,694 (high resolution access control), 6,715,084 (firewall/intrusion detection), 6,314,409 and 7,634,666 — several linked to PCI-DSS compliance — seeking damages only, not an injunction. In the co-petitioned IPR2014-00786, the Board found claim 1 of the '694 patent unpatentable (final written decision, September 2015).
