Quest Patent Research Corp. (OTCQB: QPRC) subsidiary Quest NetTech filed its complaint against Apple on April 12, 2019, asserting that Apple’s “Apple Pay functionality” implemented through Apple Wallet on such devices as the iPhone 6 with Apple iOS 8 or 9 infringes the US Patent RE38,137 entitled ‘Programmable Multiple Company Credit Card System’. A copy of the complaint is available at http://nnw.fm/SsmW8.

On June 20, 2019, Apple filed a Motion to Transfer Venue Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). In the Motion, Apple requested that the Court transfer the case from the Eastern District of Texas to the Northern District of California. A copy of the motion is available at http://nnw.fm/3pEcJ.
