District Court for the Northern District of Georgia: ISLAND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LLC and

The ’350 Patent, awarded to Island IP on May 19, 2009, is related to its sweep technology that enables banks to offer expanded FDIC insurance coverage through multiple banks while obtaining reciprocal deposits from a system of network banks based on the amount of funds the participating bank puts into the system, thereby keeping deposits on a bank’s balance sheet to fund loan demand.
