This case involves patents claiming to have invented methods for calculating token exchange rates on a blockchain—technology used by Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation. The plaintiffs allege infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 11,107,049 and 11,574,291.
On September 3, 2025, DEF and the Solana Policy Institute filed an amicus brief supporting Uniswap’s motion to dismiss, arguing the patents are invalid under the Supreme Court’s Alice framework because they claim abstract economic concepts implemented on conventional blockchain technology.
