I'll research this company now.
Overview. The Huntington National Bank is the principal banking subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN), a Maryland-incorporated, multistate diversified regional bank holding company headquartered at 41 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio. The bank traces its origins to P. W. Huntington & Company, founded in Columbus in January 1866; the holding company was organized in 1966. It is publicly traded, an S&P 500 component, and has no parent other than the holding company itself. The company reported roughly 19,600–20,000 employees and total assets of $225.1 billion at December 31, 2025, with net income attributable to Huntington of $2.21 billion for FY2025. Market capitalization has recently ranged around $27–35 billion.
Products and operations. Huntington is an operating bank, not a licensor or shell entity. Through the bank it offers full-service commercial and consumer deposit, lending, and payments products, along with mortgage banking, direct and indirect consumer financing (automobile, RV/marine, home equity, residential mortgage), investment banking, capital markets, advisory, equipment and distribution finance, investment management, trust, brokerage, and insurance. Reporting segments are Consumer & Regional Banking and Commercial Banking, plus a Treasury/Other function. As of December 31, 2025 it operated more than 1,000 branches in 14 states, primarily across the Midwest; after the February 1, 2026 Cadence Bank merger it operates nearly 1,400 branches in 21 states. It acquired Veritex Holdings (Dallas) on October 20, 2025 for $1.7 billion.
Patent-litigation posture. The tracked data show one case, in which Huntington is a defendant and zero as plaintiff — the classic profile of an operating company targeted by a patent holder rather than an active plaintiff. The suit is Intellectual Ventures II LLC v. Huntington Bancshares Incorporated et al., No. 2:13-cv-00785, filed August 7, 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio (Columbus), Huntington's home venue rather than a plaintiff-friendly forum such as the Eastern District of Texas. Intellectual Ventures II is a known patent-assertion entity holding an acquired portfolio.
Case context. Per USPTO filings, IV II asserted several patents against Huntington in that action, including U.S. Patent Nos. 5,745,574, 6,826,694, and 6,715,084, and the same patents were asserted against numerous other financial institutions in parallel suits. Judge Gregory L. Frost stayed the Huntington case on June 10, 2014. The asserted technology area appears to be computer architecture and software/secure transaction processing rather than core banking products. No other litigation appearances are recorded for this company in our data.
Intellectual Ventures II LLC asserted U.S. Patent 6,826,694, along with U.S. Patents 5,745,574, 6,715,084, 6,314,409, and 7,634,666, against Huntington Bancshares Incorporated and The Huntington National Bank in the 2013 IV II banking campaign. A stay was granted pending IPR; final disposition was not confirmed.
