Again< I can only say: patents must be non-obvious. Since electronic payments are obvious and commonplace, and TADs are commonplace(in Europe) then how can the two together be non-obvious? If this were the case how come Bank of America didn't patent the first electronic credit card,which they developed? Second, companies have patent disputes all the time-why buy someone out for $100 million or more when $250K gets you a bulldog patent lawyer who will challenge the patent? That kind of buyout is not in the cards-financial service companies get bought out for their distribution systems, not for some silly patent. Check this link too: patents.com
