SALT LAKE CITY & MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 2005--NetDeposit, Inc.
(www.netdeposit.com), an innovator in Check 21 software and leading provider of franchise-building software solutions for the financial industry, and DataTreasury Corporation (www.datatreasury.com), a Long Island-based technology company, announced today that they have entered into a settlement and license agreement. NetDeposit, Inc. has licensed DataTreasury patents, settling claims made by DataTreasury against NetDeposit for infringement of those patents. NetDeposit's electronic check processing products were in issue in one of several lawsuits brought by DataTreasury claiming several banks and check processors have violated its patents relating to certain methods used in electronic check processing and archiving electronic images
"These claims of infringement of DataTreasury's patents have created a cloud of uncertainty surrounding electronic processing of checks under the Check 21 Act," said Danne Buchanan, chief executive officer of NetDeposit.
"This agreement removes that cloud for NetDeposit customers. Under this agreement," continued Buchanan, "NetDeposit has 'most favored nation' treatment regarding the use of these technologies, enabling it to maintain its leadership position in electronic check-processing." "We are delighted to be working with NetDeposit, a leader in providing solutions designed to leverage the Check 21 legislation," said Claudio Ballard, the founder of DataTreasury and inventor of the company's patented technology.
"This agreement helps to clear the way for both companies to conduct business, and it brings to the industry the technical advantages and significant financial benefits of this technology."
