Purpose / plain-language scope (from the excerpt): The patent concerns managing a mobile wallet and its related credentials on a mobile device. The supplied excerpt identifies "mobile device," "mobile," "information," "wallet application," and "wma" as prior-art keywords, and classifies the subject matter under network security, authentication, and mobile payment categories — including payment applications installed on mobile devices, activation or deactivation of payment capabilities, secure elements embedded in mobile devices, card personalization, and card activation/deactivation. Classification codes also cover authentication (G06F21/30–21/35), detecting or preventing theft or loss (G06F21/88), key management using one-time keys (H04L63/067), and wireless-network authentication (H04W12/06). These indicators suggest the claimed subject matter relates to authenticating a user/device and securely managing wallet credentials and payment-application activation state.

What the excerpt does not establish:
- The actual text of any claim, the independent claim scope, or the number of claims (no claims, abstract, or detailed description were supplied).
- The specific technical operation of the "wallet application" or "WMA" beyond their appearance as prior-art keywords.
- The meaning or legal effect of any classification code, or that the noted classifications reflect claim limitations.
- Whether Fintiv Inc's listed assignee status is accurate or current (the excerpt itself notes listed assignees "may be inaccurate" and Google "has not performed" an analysis).
- Any ownership transfers, litigation, validity, or prior art — outside the requested scope and not researched here.
I have not researched litigation, ownership transfers, validity, or prior art; the excerpt's mention of family litigation, assignments, and PTAB/court dockets is noted only as appearing in the source and is not analyzed here.

All PTAB activity →AIA trial proceedings (IPR / PGR / CBM) filed at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board against this patent. Sourced from the USPTO Open Data Portal and refreshed every six hours; each proceeding number deep-links to the PTAB E2E docket.
No PTAB proceedings on file. This patent has not been challenged via IPR, PGR, or CBM. The absence is itself a signal — well-asserted patents eventually attract IPRs. The LLM analysis below may surface filings the ODP feed hasn’t indexed yet.
PTAB challenges
AIA trial proceedings at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board — IPR, PGR, and CBM. Petitioners, judge panels, claim-level invalidation outcomes from Final Written Decisions, and Federal Circuit appeals. The single most important defensive datapoint after litigation history.
Assignment history
Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.
Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
Obviousness
Combinations of prior art that suggest the claimed invention would have been obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Extensions
Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
Derivative works
Defensive disclosure: derivative variations of each claim designed to render future incremental improvements obvious or non-novel.
