萬事達卡（Mastercard MA）說服美國法官駁回了一家技術初創公司的訴訟，該技術創業公司指責付款巨頭非法阻止其為消費者建造“通用”數字錢包的努力。

萬事達卡MA已說服波士頓的一名美國法官駁回了一家技術創業公司的訴訟，該技術創業公司指責付款巨頭非法阻止其為消費者建造“通用”數字錢包的努力。

A U.S. judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit from a technology startup that accused payments giant Mastercard (MA.N) of illegally blocking its efforts to build a “universal” digital wallet.

美國法官週三駁回了一家技術初創公司的訴訟，該訴訟指控付款巨頭萬事達卡（MA.N）非法阻止其建造“通用”數字錢包的努力。

In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said plaintiff OV Loop had not presented enough facts to support its claim that Mastercard was monopolizing the market for mobile payment services for a consumer-merchant network.

美國地方法院法官英迪拉·塔爾瓦尼（Indira Talwani）在她的裁決中說，原告OV循環沒有提出足夠的事實來支持其主張萬事達卡（MasterCard）正在為消費者交通網絡壟斷移動支付服務市場。

“Plaintiff has not sufficiently alleged that Defendant has a monopoly in the market for mobile payment services for a consumer-merchant network,” Talwani said.

塔爾瓦尼說：“原告尚未充分聲稱被告在消費者網絡的移動支付服務市場中擁有壟斷。”

OV Loop’s lawsuit, filed last year, accused Mastercard of violating U.S. antitrust law by denying it access to an essential digital payments technology the company needed to help build a unified commerce platform. The Massachusetts-based company was seeking more than $75 million in damages.

去年提起的OV Loop的訴訟指控萬事達卡違反了美國反托拉斯法律，否認其訪問該公司所需的基本數字支付技術，以幫助建立統一的商業平台。這家總部位於馬薩諸塞州的公司正在尋求超過7500萬美元的損失。

Talwani also said OV Loop could not rebut a general rule in antitrust law that “a private business may exercise its own independent discretion in choosing parties with which to deal.”

塔爾瓦尼（Talwani）還說，OV Loop不能反駁反托拉斯法律中的一般規則，即“私人企業可以行使自己獨立的酌處權，以選擇與之交易的當事方。”

“In the instant case, tying together the various factual allegations, Plaintiff has not sufficiently alleged that Defendant’s refusal to grant Plaintiff token services was not a matter of “independent discretion' and was instead an attempt to maintain its alleged monopoly power,” the judge said.

法官說：“在本案中，將各種事實指控捆綁在一起，原告尚未充分聲稱被告拒絕授予原告代幣服務並不是“獨立酌處權”，而是試圖維持其所謂的壟斷權的企圖。”

Mastercard declined to comment on Wednesday, and a lawyer for OV Loop did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

萬事達卡拒絕在周三發表評論，OV Loop的律師沒有立即回應置評請求。

OV Loop’s lawsuit alleged Mastercard was granting selective access to tokens that the plaintiff said are needed for a company to compete for digital wallet payments like those used for Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Wallet.

OV Loop的訴訟稱，萬事達卡正在授予原告稱之為代幣的選擇性訪問權限，該公司要求公司競爭像Apple Pay，Google Pay和Samsung Wallet一樣競爭數字錢包付款。

Founded in 2018, OV Loop wants to develop and market a “super app” for digital commerce, offering services to consumers and merchants. In addition to tokens, OV Loop said it was able to obtain services from Visa (V.N).

OV Loop成立於2018年，希望開發和銷售用於數字商務的“超級應用”，為消費者和商人提供服務。除了令牌外，OV Loop表示，它還可以從Visa（VN）獲得服務。

In seeking dismissal of the lawsuit, Mastercard said OV Loop had failed to allege any actual refusal by Mastercard to do business with it.

萬事達卡表示，在尋求駁回訴訟時，OV Loop未能指控萬事達卡實際拒絕與此訴訟。

“Despite the fact that Mastercard had no obligation to do so, it nonetheless engaged with Plaintiff for several months and made a business decision not to move forward with Plaintiff’s application for token services,” the company said in a filing last month.

該公司在上個月的一份文件中說：“儘管萬事達卡沒有義務這樣做，但它還是與原告互動了幾個月，並做出了業務決定，不推動原告向代幣服務申請。”

Mastercard also said the startup’s claims were time-barred.

萬事達卡還表示，這家初創公司的說法是限時的。

“Plaintiff’s claims arise from economic, technological and competitive conditions that existed at the time of the complaint and were not the result of any new conduct by Defendant,” the company said.

該公司表示：“原告的主張是由投訴時存在的經濟，技術和競爭條件引起的，這不是被告的任何新行為的結果。”

The case is OV Loop Inc v. Mastercard Inc, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, No. 1:24-cv-10412.

該案是美國馬薩諸塞州地區法院的OV Loop Inc訴Mastercard Inc，第1：24-CV-10412號。
