Court relief for Innoviti in case against Pine Labs

BENGALURU: A Bengaluru civil court has granted interim relief to Innoviti Payment Solutions against rival digital payments firm Pine Labs in a patent infringement case.

The patent held by Innoviti deals with accepting UPI payments using dynamic QR codes on point-of-sale (PoS) devices.

The order, passed on July 16, disallows Pine Labs from “using, manufacturing, selling, etc… any system/product/technology covered by the suit patent”.


The Indian Patent Office granted the patent to Innoviti, and the company holds the rights until March 2037. It enables payments through UPI, Bharat QR or other QR-based payment forms through PoS devices that were built to accept payments made through credit and debit cards.
