The company's sole tracked litigation, Samesurf, Inc. v. Intuit Inc., was filed on March 29, 2022, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Samesurf accused Intuit of infringing several of its co-browsing technology patents, including U.S. Patent Nos. 9,185,145 and 9,483,448, alleging that Intuit copied its technology for products like TurboTax and QuickBooks after prior discussions. While the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) found claims of the '145 patent unpatentable, the Federal Circuit affirmed the validity of Samesurf's core U.S. Patent No. 9,483,448 in April 2026.
