Overview
- Apple submitted its filing on October 28 despite not being served, saying it aims to move the matter forward.
- The company argues Fintiv knew the core facts since 2014 and waited until August 2025 to sue after losing its patent case, so the claims are time‑barred.
- Apple contends Fintiv’s earlier patent publicly disclosed the technology now labeled as secret, which would preclude trade‑secret protection.
- Apple says the Georgia racketeering count simply repackages the trade‑secret theory, fails to allege a proper enterprise or pattern, and should be dismissed.
- Apple notes two former CorFire employees cited by Fintiv joined in 2015, after Apple Pay’s 2014 launch, which it says undercuts causation allegations.
