MakerDAO诉讼的关键专利被收购,结束了加密技术纠纷

币界网报道:

DeFi教育基金(DEF)周一与True Return Systems(TRS)达成协议,购买类似甲骨文技术的专利。这项有争议的专利是针对MakerDAO和Compound这两个去中心化金融协议的两起法律诉讼的核心。

预言机是将区块链连接到外部系统(如数字资产价格馈送)的实体,是DeFi中的关键工具。此次收购结束了与该公司的斗争,DEF曾将其描述为“专利流氓”

根据DEF的说法,TRS在2022年起诉MakerDAO和Compound使用类似甲骨文的技术,声称拥有“一种将计算机化账本的存储和处理分离以改善功能的方法和系统”的所有权。但该倡导组织以及这两项协议的律师对这些指控表示异议,认为专利诉讼有些过头。

DEF首席法律顾问Amanda Tuminelli周一对Decrypt表示:“Oracle技术对DeFi领域非常重要,所以……我们看到了一个潜在的问题,可能会导致开发人员或用户的权利受到侵犯。”。

国防部拒绝透露和解金额,理由是谈判的“保密”性质。

法庭文件显示,TRS的诉讼试图禁止这些协议“制造、使用或销售”基于类似甲骨文技术的产品。但事实并非如此。TRS周一提出终止对这些协议的诉讼。该决定是在该公司同意将其专利出售给DEF后不久做出的。

Tuminelli告诉Decrypt,此次专利购买不仅保证了MakerDAO和Compound可以继续使用类似oracle的技术来为其链上价格馈送提供动力,还确保了其他协议可以将该技术用于许多其他应用程序。

图米内利说:“任何使用类似甲骨文技术的协议……都可能是下一个。”。“现在,这项专利不能用来对付任何人。”

DEF表示,计划将该专利奉献给公众,这意味着每一项协议都将拥有使用其知识产权申请中提到的类似甲骨文的技术的合法权利。

DEF多年来一直在与这项专利作斗争,于2023年底向美国专利商标局提交了一份请愿书,要求废除TRS的专利,试图废除针对MakerDAO和Compound的诉讼依据。

DEF去年9月在推特上发帖称:“ICYMI,我们向美国专利商标局申请取消一项专利,该专利被一名‘专利流氓’用来起诉DAO和‘协议’。”。然而,它最终决定购买该专利,从而更快地结束了这件事。

图米内利说:“我们认为解决所有问题的最有效方法——我们的请愿书和这两起诉讼——就是解决这个案件。”。

A Chip Company Releases AIDC Energy Storage Certification Standards. Why NVIDIA? Computing Power Reshapes Power Supply Logic. Who's in the Lead and Who's Left Out?

NVIDIA has released a "Battery Energy Storage System Self-Certification Guide," setting strict technical standards for energy storage systems specifically for AI data centers (AIDC). The guide focuses solely on certifying the Power Conversion System (PCS), not the batteries, with 10 mandatory performance metrics and 12 validation tests requiring real-world and simulation comparisons. Key requirements include rapid dynamic response to AI workloads, high-frequency system telemetry, and detailed electromagnetic transient models. The move is driven by the extreme and fluctuating power demands of next-generation AI hardware. Modern AIDCs require energy storage systems to act as intelligent, controllable grid assets, not just passive backup, to manage instantaneous, massive power load shifts that traditional UPS systems cannot handle. This redefines the competitive landscape for energy storage providers, shifting focus from capacity and cost to advanced control capabilities and system integration. While the market potential is significant—with forecasts of hundreds of GWh in new demand by 2030—the certification creates a high barrier to entry. It requires proven PCS delivery volumes and credible plans for rapid capacity scaling, favoring established, well-resourced players. Early movers like Fluence (partnering with Siemens) and several Chinese companies have secured projects ahead of the standard, but new entrants must now navigate this rigorous, costly, and time-intensive certification process to compete in the AIDC energy storage market.

After Missing the 20x, I've Found a 'Dumb' Method for AI Investing

**Missing the 20x Opportunity: A Simple 'Dumb' Approach to AI Investing** The AI boom, driving NVIDIA's revenue from $60B to $216B in two years, creates immense investment pressure. However, like the internet bubble of 2000, the largest AI opportunities likely lie ahead, perhaps after a correction. Instead of rushing in now or waiting paralyzed for a crash, the author proposes a third way: building a "knowledge warehouse" by systematically mapping the AI industry to be ready when opportunities arise. The core of the strategy is understanding AI's four-layer value chain: 1. **Compute Infrastructure (The "Engine"):** This foundational layer, where all money eventually flows, includes: a) **Chip Design:** NVIDIA's dominance via its CUDA ecosystem, b) **Chip Manufacturing/Packaging/Memory:** TSMC's near-monopoly in advanced manufacturing and SK Hynix's lead in High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), c) **Optical Interconnects:** Essential for large-scale AI clusters (e.g., Lumentum, Coherent), d) **Cooling & Power:** Critical for high-density AI data centers (e.g., Vertiv), e) **Servers/Data Centers & Cloud Platforms:** The physical and virtual wholesale providers. 2. **Models & Tools (The "OS"):** The competitive layer of foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI), now generating real revenue. A key shift is the center of gravity moving from **Training** models to **Inference** (running models), which demands different chip characteristics and could challenge NVIDIA's monopoly. 3. **Middleware & Platform ("The Glue"):** Connects models and applications (e.g., Scale AI, Hugging Face). This layer could explode if applications take off. 4. **Vertical Applications ("The Cash Register"):** Where AI meets end-users (e.g., enterprise AI, coding tools, medical AI, robotics). A critical cross-cutting constraint is **Energy**, as AI's massive power consumption drives investment in nuclear and other energy infrastructure. The author identifies four key questions for further research: 1) How will the shift from Training to Inference reshape the competitive landscape? 2) With tech giants spending over $600B on capex, where is the ROI from AI applications? 3) What are the under-the-radar opportunities in the "second" and "third" circles of the value chain (e.g., cooling, specialty foundries)? 4) How will geopolitics (e.g., U.S.-China chip restrictions) bifurcate the supply chain? The conclusion is that missed opportunities stem from insufficient research, not slow timing. By methodically studying each layer—its business models, competition, and valuations—investors can build the "killer intuition" needed to act decisively when the market presents its chance.
