Unified Patents added two new PATROLL contests, each with a $2,000 cash prize, seeking prior art on the list below. The patents are owned by Malikie Innovations Limited, an NPE and entity of Key Patent Innovations. The patents generally relate to cryptographic systems. The ‘062 patent has been asserted against Foundry Digital, Core Scientific, and MARA Holdings.
The contests will expire on March 31, 2026. PATROLL researchers are required to use Pearl to generate claim charts. Submitted invalidity charts must address every limitation of the challenged claim. This may require using more than one prior art reference. Each PATROLL researcher can generate up to 30 invalidity claim charts per month using Pearl. These charts can be downloaded then submitted to PATROLL.
