Patent number: 12223496Abstract: A network node in a peer-to-peer network of nodes includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one network interface. The at least one processor is configured to receive a request to transfer a security token and execute a plurality of compliance rules associated with the security token. At least one of the compliance rules is implemented using at least one smart contract. The at least one smart contract references a global registry. The at least one processor is also configured to transfer the security token based on the execution of the compliance rules. The global registry includes personally identifiable information (PII) hash(es) for each of at least one investor associated with the transfer of the security token. The hashes are committed to the distributed ledger and updated when PII of a respective one of the at least one investor changes.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: tZERO IP, LLCInventors: Scott Overholser, Robert Christensen, Nicole Sanders, Justin Wilson, Robert Valmassoi, Chase Lester, Michael William Stuart Smith, Andrew Warner

Patent number: 11961067Abstract: A network node includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one network interface. The network node is configured to be within a plurality of network nodes communicatively coupled in a peer-to-peer network of network nodes implementing a distributed ledger. The network node is configured to be communicatively coupled to at least one remotely located computing device through the at least one network interface. The at least one processor is configured to determine a split ratio for a new split of security tokens held in at least one address of the distributed ledger. The at least one processor is also configured to store an indication of the split ratio without updating token balances for all of the at least one address in a list of addresses holding at least one of the security tokens.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: tZERO IP, LLCInventors: Justin Wilson, Nicole Sanders, Robert Christensen, Chase Lester, Andrew Warner

Publication number: 20220374870Abstract: A network node that includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one network interface. The network node is configured to be within a plurality of network nodes communicatively coupled in a peer-to-peer network of network nodes implementing a distributed ledger. The network node is communicatively coupled to at least one remotely located computing device through the at least one network interface. The at least one processor is configured to deploy a second smart contract at a second address on the distributed ledger; set an address field in the first smart contract to reference the second address; subtract a particular number of tokens from a first respective value corresponding to a first respective address in the first table of balances; and add the particular number of tokens to a second respective value corresponding to the second address in the first table of balances.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: tZERO IP, LLCInventors: Justin Wilson, Nicole Sanders, Robert Christensen, Chase Lester, Andrew Warner

The network node is configured to be within a plurality of network nodes communicatively coupled in a peer-to-peer network of network nodes implementing a distributed ledger. The network node is communicatively coupled to at least one remotely located computing device through the at least one network interface. The at least one processor is configured to deploy a child smart contract, which is a subsequent version of a parent smart contract, on the distributed ledger. The at least one processor is also configured to set an upgraded address field in the parent smart contract to point to an address of the child smart contract. The parent smart contract remains deployed after the child smart contract is deployed.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: tZERO IP, LLCInventors: Justin Wilson, Nicole Sanders, Robert Christensen, Chase Lester, Andrew Warner
