According to FinTech lawyer Ariel Givner, Securitize has filed an opening brief supporting the dismissal of tZERO's counterclaims, arguing that the five patents involved (’560, ’496, ’802, ’078, and ’996) are invalid under Section 101 of the U.S. *Alice* standard. Securitize contends that the patents, which cover custody, compliance checks for securities transfers, investor status updates, and whitelist restrictions, essentially describe traditional economic activities implemented using known blockchain technology in a computer environment, without improving the underlying technology. Securitize is requesting the court to dismiss tZERO's counterclaims and prohibit them from refiling. https://(wublock123.com)/news/securitize-moves-to-dismiss-tzero-patent-counterclaim-invalid-patent-67213
