Dragonfly partner questions DFINITY's technical infringement allegations: the relevant patent July was not granted until the end of this year
PANews October 25 reports that Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi responded to DFINITY founder Dominic Williams's previous allegations regarding NEAR Intents the unauthorized use of threshold ECDSA signature technology. Screenshots of the relevant patent application he shared show that the patent was not granted until the end of this year; previously, it had remained in “patent pending” status, while July was not granted until the end of this year; previously, it had remained in “patent pending” status, while NEAR Intents this year September modified the relevant algorithm. Haseeb Qureshi added that, if Dominic Williams's own account is correct, the alleged patent infringement may involve only approximately 1 months, and the relevant algorithm was originally published in an academic paper under a CC BY license, while NEAR also cited that paper in its implementation.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is a public dispute concerning patent timing, algorithm modifications, and paper licensing. The available materials primarily relay Haseeb Qureshi's questions and do not provide the full patent text or independent verification results.
Why it matters to readers
The points of contention include when the patent was granted,NEAR Intents when the relevant algorithm was used or modified, and whether the academic-paper license affects the infringement determination.
The patent grant date and the actual timing of software use may affect the time period involved in the infringement dispute; however, this report alone cannot determine whose legal claims are valid.
Risks and unknowns
The full patent text, claims, or technical comparison materials have not been provided.
The patent grant date and NEAR Intents the timing of the algorithm modification have not been independently verified.
It has not been confirmed whether the CC BY license covers the specific implementation at issue in the dispute.
It has not been confirmed whether either party has initiated formal legal proceedings.
