Portfolio Spotlights Key Innovations Supporting Compliant, Tokenized Securities Lifecycle, Upgradeable Smart Contract Infrastructure and Broker-Dealer Interoperability NEW YORK, NY - April 30, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - tZERO Group, Inc., a leading innovator in blockchain-powered multi-asset infrastructure, has been undertaking a strategic review of its intellectual property portfolio since the leadership change at the end of 2025, and highlighting several foundational patents supporting the development of compliant, tokenized securities infrastructure. As part of this review, tZERO is providing initial perspective into five of tZERO's 23 patent families, encompassing 103 patents, that underpin key elements of the security token lifecycle, including compliance-aware transfer logic, upgradeable smart-contract frameworks, scalable corporate-action handling and broker-dealer-level identity interoperability. These patents reflect work initiated during the early formation of the security token market and continue to inform the architecture of regulated on-chain capital markets infrastructure today. "We have invested for years in building technology designed specifically for regulated digital asset securities," said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. "As institutional adoption of tokenized assets accelerates, we believe it is an appropriate time to begin highlighting components of our intellectual property portfolio that support compliant issuance, trading and lifecycle management of tokenized securities and form an important part of our infrastructure provision and asset base. As I mentioned before, we look forward to developing new products that utilize our patents, as well as aggressively identifying other market opportunities where our intellectual property rights may be utilized, monetized or otherwise enforced." The initial patent families highlighted relate to the following technologies: Self-Enforcing Security Token Compliance System (US11216802B2, US11829997B2, US12223496B2) The Self-Enforcing Security Token Compliance System is a blockchain-based architecture that programmatically enforces regulatory rules directly within the token transfer logic. Developed early in the evolution of smart contract technology applications for securities, with a related patent priority date of August 10, 2018, this technology innovated the standard for on-chain compliance. By utilizing a security token smart contract that references a global registry of investor attributes (such as KYC/AML status and other eligibility criteria), the system automatically evaluates compliance conditions at the moment of transfer without relying on manual oversight. tZERO's method enforces compliance automatically and on-chain at the moment of transfer, making it atomic, trustless and fully auditable without relying on any external infrastructure. Using this patented technology we can help industry participants to minimize or eliminate off-chain services during the transfer process, eliminating latency and external trust dependencies on legacy technologies. Upgradable Security Token Architecture (US11410159B2) Splittable Security Token Structure (US11961067B2) Federated PII Service for Broker-Dealers (US11449634B2, US12306991B2) The Federated Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Service architecture includes a specialized computing system designed to securely link private identity data with public trading records. The system utilizes a server that receives user requests for PII related to a specific account's trading history. It then identifies which broker-dealer database contains that PII and verifies if the requesting user has the necessary permissions to access it. If authorized, the server retrieves public transaction data from a blockchain, which stores anonymized trade details like asset types and quantities. Finally, the platform generates "mapped information" by overlaying the private PII with the public ledger data, allowing for transparent reporting and auditability while keeping sensitive personal information off the public chain. Broker-dealers integrating into the open tokenized securities ecosystem can use this technology to more seamlessly integrate. Crypto Integration Platform (US10171245B2, US10673634B2, US11394560B2) Together, these technologies address core infrastructure requirements for tokenized securities markets, including compliance enforcement, contract evolution, corporate-action processing and identity-linked transaction traceability. tZERO will continue evaluating additional components of its intellectual property portfolio and intends to provide further updates as part of this ongoing review process. The company's intellectual property strategy reflects its broader focus on supporting regulated, interoperable infrastructure for tokenized capital markets across issuance, trading, custody and lifecycle management.
