According to Cointelegraph, Malikie Innovations recently sued Bitcoin mining companies Marathon Digital and Core Scientific, alleging that the elliptic curve encryption technology they use infringes their patent rights. The company acquired 32,000 “non-core” patents from BlackBerry in 2023. According to the lawsuit documents, the defendant mining company used Malikie's patented technology in Bitcoin mining operations. Legal expert Aaron Brogan said that such lawsuits usually do not target individual Bitcoin users, but they may have a significant financial impact on defendant mining companies, and if they lose the lawsuit, they may face six-year royalty recovery.
