万事达卡（Mastercard MA）说服美国法官驳回了一家技术初创公司的诉讼，该技术创业公司指责付款巨头非法阻止其为消费者建造“通用”数字钱包的努力。

万事达卡MA已说服波士顿的一名美国法官驳回了一家技术创业公司的诉讼，该技术创业公司指责付款巨头非法阻止其为消费者建造“通用”数字钱包的努力。

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.

美国法官周三驳回了一家技术初创公司的诉讼，该诉讼指控付款巨头万事达卡（MA.N）非法阻止其建造“通用”数字钱包的努力。

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.

美国地方法院法官英迪拉·塔尔瓦尼（Indira Talwani）在她的裁决中说，原告OV循环没有提出足够的事实来支持其主张万事达卡（MasterCard）正在为消费者交通网络垄断移动支付服务市场。

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

塔尔瓦尼说：“原告尚未充分声称被告在消费者网络的移动支付服务市场中拥有垄断。”

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的诉讼指控万事达卡违反了美国反托拉斯法律，否认其访问该公司所需的基本数字支付技术，以帮助建立统一的商业平台。这家总部位于马萨诸塞州的公司正在寻求超过7500万美元的损失。

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.”

塔尔瓦尼（Talwani）还说，OV Loop不能反驳反托拉斯法律中的一般规则，即“私人企业可以行使自己独立的酌处权，以选择与之交易的当事方。”

“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.

法官说：“在本案中，将各种事实指控捆绑在一起，原告尚未充分声称被告拒绝授予原告代币服务并不是“独立酌处权”，而是试图维持其所谓的垄断权的企图。”

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

万事达卡拒绝在周三发表评论，OV Loop的律师没有立即回应置评请求。

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的诉讼称，万事达卡正在授予原告称之为代币的选择性访问权限，该公司要求公司竞争像Apple Pay，Google Pay和Samsung Wallet一样竞争数字钱包付款。

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成立于2018年，希望开发和销售用于数字商务的“超级应用”，为消费者和商人提供服务。除了令牌外，OV Loop表示，它还可以从Visa（VN）获得服务。

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

万事达卡表示，在寻求驳回诉讼时，OV Loop未能指控万事达卡实际拒绝与此诉讼。

“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.

该公司在上个月的一份文件中说：“尽管万事达卡没有义务这样做，但它还是与原告互动了几个月，并做出了业务决定，不推动原告向代币服务申请。”

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

万事达卡还表示，这家初创公司的说法是限时的。

“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.

该公司表示：“原告的主张是由投诉时存在的经济，技术和竞争条件引起的，这不是被告的任何新行为的结果。”

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

该案是美国马萨诸塞州地区法院的OV Loop Inc诉Mastercard Inc，第1：24-CV-10412号。
