MShift sues Intuit subsidiary over mobile banking patent

MShift, a US mobile banking provider, is suing Intuit subsidiary Digital Insight Corporation and users of its mobile banking technology platform. The lawsuit was filed with the United States District Court in the Northern District of California. Community Trust Financial Corporation and Community Trust Bank are named as co-defendants.

The filing alleges that the mobile banking technology Digital Insight is providing its customers, such as Community Trust Bank, infringes on a 2005 MShift patent.

MShift's "881 Patent" enable mobile devices such as smartphones to access network sites such as online or home banking sites by means of a conversion and adaptation engine which performs translations between the language of the network site (e.g. HTML) and the language supported by the mobile device (e.g., WAP, HDML, HTML) as required.
