Chase Accused of Infringing Canadian Security Patent

A Canadian technology company has accused JPMorgan Chase of patent infringement in its online account security system.

The lawsuit, filed on August 25, 2026, claims that Chase's banking platform uses technology covered by a US Patent No. RE47,533 issued to AAA Internet Publishing Inc., doing business as WTFast.

The '533 patent covers an account security system that compares device identifiers and geographic locations to verify legitimate account access attempts.

AAA Internet Publishing claims that Chase's system stores device information and location data, then compares this information with external databases to authenticate users.
