    Criticism of DataTreasury's patent-litigation model

    Commentators and banking-industry representatives criticized DataTreasury for appearing to derive much of its public activity from suing companies over acquired or enforced patents. Critics described the company and its legal strategy as examples of patent trolling or abuse of the patent system, while DataTreasury argued that Ballard had invented the underlying technology and that banks had appropriated it.
