Detailed Summary
In Petition IPR2025-01356, Regions Bank challenges U.S. Patent No. 12,211,095 owned by United Services Automobile Association. The patent claims a system for mobile check deposit that includes auto‑capture, alignment guides, monitoring criteria, and server‑side processing. The petitioner contends that each of the 30 claims is obvious in view of a combination of prior‑art references—Garcia, Luo, Meier, Cohen, Yoon, Goyal, Randle, and Attia—citing extensive technical disclosures that were publicly available before the patent’s priority date. The petition requests that the PTAB institute inter‑ partes review and invalidate all claims. No claim constructions or expert testimony are presented, and the proceeding is currently at the petition stage.
