Marketplace transaction
What the patent claim requires
A user encountering the digital asset at the relevant location is provided with a transaction opportunity involving purchase or trade of the digital asset, including transactions involving another digital asset.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Publicly available ILLUST materials describe marketplace, sale, bidding, purchase and digital-asset transaction functionality.
Technical confirmation required — Generic marketplace functionality alone does not establish the complete claimed transaction limitation; the technical execution of purchase, trade and asset-for-asset transactions requires confirmation.
Verification — Live transaction flow and current availability require verification.
Digital ownership transaction
What the patent claim requires
The claimed architecture includes blockchain-based updating of digital-asset ownership and additional smart-contract and destination-blockchain operations associated with transfer of the digital asset.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
ILLUST publicly describes NFT ownership, blockchain-based asset records and smart-contract operations.
Technical confirmation required — Publicly available information should be further evaluated to determine whether ILLUST's implementation corresponds to the complete blockchain and smart-contract transfer sequence recited in the relevant claim.
Verification — On-chain transfer sequence and contract addresses not verified.
Claim-level detail
CLAIM 1 — TECHNICAL CORRESPONDENCE MATRIX
Claim 1 broken into its operative limitations rather than seven summary concepts. Each limitation is assessed independently so that patent counsel, legal, corporate development or technical personnel can see where correspondence appears to exist and where further information would be required.
Computer-implemented marketplace system / server architecture
What the patent claim requires
One or more servers operate a marketplace platform accessible by owner and user devices over a network.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
ILLUST publicly presents a hosted platform accessible through web and mobile clients with account, publishing and viewing functions.
Further information required — Server-side architecture, service boundaries and request handling are not established by public material.
Receiving selection of a physical or geographic position
What the patent claim requires
The system receives, from an owner, a selection of a physical location, space or object reference at which a digital asset is to be positioned.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Public material describes selecting a real-world position and anchoring content to coordinates and location anchors.
Further information required — Precision model, coordinate/anchor persistence and object-based anchoring options require confirmation.
Associating a digital asset with the selected position
What the patent claim requires
A digital asset held or controlled by the owner is associated in storage with the selected position.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Wallet-held assets are publicly described as being deployed into real-world positions and indexed in a geospatial registry.
Further information required — Database model of the asset-to-location association and its persistence are not public.
Generating and presenting a map identifying asset positions
What the patent claim requires
In response to a request, a map is generated identifying positions at which digital assets may be viewed.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
A map-based discovery interface for locating placed works is publicly described and demonstrated.
Further information required — Query, filtering and server-side map generation logic are not established by public material.
Determining physical presence of the user device at the position
What the patent claim requires
The system determines that the user device is at, or within a defined area of, the selected position.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Public material describes navigating physically to a work, geofenced areas and presence-based access.
Further information required — Presence thresholds, tolerance logic and whether determination occurs server-side require confirmation.
Providing AR access to the asset in combination with the real world
What the patent claim requires
Upon presence, the digital asset is rendered in augmented reality in combination with the real-world scene captured by the device.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Browser-based AR rendering of works registered to physical scenes is publicly described and demonstrated.
Further information required — Whether AR access is conditioned on the presence determination in the claimed order requires confirmation.
Providing a transaction opportunity at the location
What the patent claim requires
A user encountering the digital asset at the relevant location is provided with a transaction opportunity involving purchase or trade of the digital asset.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Publicly available ILLUST materials describe marketplace, sale, bidding, purchase and digital-asset transaction functionality.
Further information required — Whether the transaction opportunity is presented in connection with the location encounter, rather than only through a general marketplace, requires confirmation.
Transaction involving another digital asset
What the patent claim requires
The transaction may involve trade of the digital asset for, or acquisition using, another digital asset.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
Public material does not establish whether one digital or tokenised asset may be used to acquire or trade another.
Further information required — Asset-for-asset trade capability and its technical execution require confirmation.
Blockchain-based updating of digital-asset ownership
What the patent claim requires
Ownership of the digital asset is updated by a blockchain operation following the transaction.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
ILLUST publicly describes NFT ownership and blockchain-based asset records.
Further information required — Which chain or chains record ownership, and the exact ownership-update operation, are not public.
Smart-contract and destination-blockchain transfer operations
What the patent claim requires
Additional smart-contract operations and destination-blockchain operations are associated with transfer of the digital asset.
What public information indicates ILLUST does
ILLUST publicly refers to smart-contract operations in connection with transfer of NFT ownership.

Evidence gap
KEY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER EVALUATION
These are technical due-diligence questions for further evaluation. They are not assertions about ILLUST's implementation.
Transaction mechanics
How are purchases, trades, offers or bids technically executed within the ILLUST architecture?
Asset used in transaction
Can one digital asset or tokenised asset be used to acquire or trade another digital asset?
Blockchain architecture
Which blockchain or blockchains record asset ownership?
Cross-chain operation
Does the platform support movement or transfer of digital assets between blockchain environments?
Smart contracts
What smart-contract operations are initiated during an ownership transfer?
Lock / unlock architecture
Does any transfer process involve locking an asset or contract state and subsequently unlocking or releasing the asset within another blockchain environment?
Technical Correspondence — Not a Legal Conclusion
This analysis identifies areas of apparent technical correspondence between the patent architecture and publicly documented ILLUST technology. It does not constitute an allegation or legal conclusion concerning infringement, validity, enforceability or freedom to operate. Determination of those matters requires analysis by qualified patent counsel and, where appropriate, access to non-public technical information.
Evidence classifications
Public material directly describes the relevant technical operation.
Multiple public sources demonstrate substantial technical correspondence.
The public architecture appears consistent with the patent element but additional technical information is required.
Public information does not establish every relevant technical limitation.
