Truist Financial Corp. and Zions Bancorporation NA are facing lawsuits from InnoMemory LLC over patents related to memory technology used in bank ATMs. The complaints were filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, with InnoMemory alleging that the ATMs of Zions subsidiary Amegy Bank of Texas and Truist infringe on US Patent Nos. 6,240,046 and 7,057,960.
