This article introduces readers to Square, Inc. a California based company as well as some of its recent patents in light of the SCOTUS ruling in 2014.

  • A great deal of Square’s research and development has focused upon card readers but there seems to be a good deal of R&D investment related to financial transaction cards and magnetic strips.
