Original: REI Can’t Shake Off Credit Card Technology Patent Dispute

Outdoor retailer REI remains entangled in a patent lawsuit over credit card payment technology, with a court declining to dismiss the case. The dispute concerns claims that REI's payment systems infringe on patented card-processing technology.
