According to a report by Cointelegraph, Malikie Innovations—a company that hoarded thousands of patents from Blackberry in 2023—sued Bitcoin miners Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) and MARA Holdings Inc. for using their Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which it claims to own.

According to Malikie, the two firms are using ECC-based cryptographic methods covered under the Malikie-held patents to support their Bitcoin mining operations.

What particularly buoyed sentiment was a lawyer’s optimistic comment that the lawsuit is unlikely to hit individual Bitcoin traders even if the patents are found to be valid.

Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) and MARA Holdings Inc. have yet to address allegations.
