Court rules in favour of Seamless in Accumulate cases
In October 2013, the Swedish privately held Accumulate AB filed a lawsuit against Seamless Distribution AB for patent infringement. In the lawsuit, Accumulate demanded that Seamless should cease to offer the mobile payment solution Seqr in Sweden. Seamless, which has always rejected any claim for patent infringement, filed a lawsuit against Accumulate in August 2014 where Seamless requested that Accumulate’s patent be declared invalid. The Patent and Market Court has now given judgment in both cases. In the case of invalidity, the court has ruled that Accumulate patent is to be annulled.
