On Jan. 19, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office invalidated claims in two patents asserted by United Services Automobile Association against PNC, and the next day ruled on a third one. USAA, based in San Antonio, Texas, claimed that PNC infringed upon its mobile deposit technology and originally filed suit in September 2020. USAA has similarly taken Wells Fargo & Co. to court, beginning in 2018, and, more recently, Truist.
