Haseeb Qureshi, a partner at Dragonfly, disputed DFINITY founder Dominic Williams' allegations that NEAR Intents used threshold ECDSA signature technology without authorization, showing patent application screenshots indicating the patent was only granted in late July and remained in "pending" status before that. NEAR Intents modified its algorithm in September. Qureshi noted that if Williams' claims are accurate, the alleged patent infringement would span approximately one month, and the underlying algorithm originated from an academic paper under CC BY license, which NEAR cited in its implementation.
