USAA and Bank of America entered a patent cross-license agreement outside court. The deal allows both companies to use each other’s technology patents and represents a shift in USAA’s strategy after it previously pursued legal action against banks over mobile-deposit patents. The agreement reduces the immediate risk of continued patent litigation between the parties, although no settlement amount was reported.
