Re: USAA a patent troll?

>USAA is hardly a "non-practicing entity", in fact quite the opposite.

Looking at their website, it is clear they are into "financial services", but they don't include cheque clearing, so given the dubious nature of the patent(*) would seem to qualify as a troll...

(*) Be interesting to see the details of the judgement, as from a quick reading of the patent, not seen anything that would have qualified as an 'invention' in 2010. However, given the judge has ruled, that is largely immaterial as USAA have a judgement they can wave around and judges won't look any further, unless Wells Fargo appeals, potentially all the way to the Capital...
