Here's a concise summary of US Patent 9054860:

US Patent 9054860: Digital verified identification system and method

• Title: Digital verified identification system and method
• Assignee: Digital Verification Systems LLC
• Inventors: Leigh M. Rothschild
• Filing Date: January 2, 2008
• Issue Date: June 9, 2015
• Abstract: The patent describes a digital verified identification system and method for verifying and/or authenticating the identification of an entity associated with an electronic file, such as a digital signatory. It includes a module generating assembly that receives verification data elements to create a digital identification module. This module is designed to be embedded within an electronic file and comprises a primary component, which links the module to the entity, and one or more metadata components.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Claim 1 (System): This claim describes a digital identification system that uses a digital identification module tied to an entity. A "module generating assembly" receives verification data (like a username, password, or unique ID) to create this module. The key feature is that this digital identification module is designed to be embedded in only a single electronic file and includes a visible "primary component" that links it to the entity.
• Claim 23 (System): This claim is similar to Claim 1 but specifically states that the primary component of the digital identification module includes a digital signature. It also emphasizes that the module is structured to be embedded within only a single electronic file.
• Claim 26 (Method): This claim outlines a method for digital identification verification. It involves three main steps:
  1. Receiving verification data from an entity.
  2. Creating a digital identification module for that entity, where the module has a primary component linked to the entity.
  3. Embedding this digital identification module into an electronic file.
     Crucially, this method specifies that the digital identification module is designed to be embedded within only a single electronic file.
• Claim 39 (Method): This claim describes a method for verifying an entity's identification with an electronic file. It involves:
  1. Receiving verification data from the entity.
  2. Creating a digital identification module for the entity by combining a primary component (which specifically includes a digital signature) with at least one metadata component.
  3. Embedding this digital identification module into the electronic file.
     Like the other independent claims, this method explicitly states that the digital identification module is structured to be embedded within only a single electronic file.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:

As of April 26, 2026, a review of the publicly available CAFC scheduled cases for May, June, and July 2026 does not explicitly list US patent 9054860 in the case descriptions. Therefore, I do not have authoritative information regarding any active litigation involving patent 9054860 in the CAFC dockets for 2026 based on the provided search results.Here's a concise summary of US Patent 9054860:

US Patent 9054860: Digital verified identification system and method

• Title: Digital verified identification system and method
• Assignee: Digital Verification Systems LLC
• Inventors: Leigh M. Rothschild
• Filing Date: January 2, 2008
• Issue Date: June 9, 2015
• Abstract: The patent describes a digital verified identification system and method for verifying and/or authenticating the identification of an entity associated with an electronic file, such as a digital signatory thereof. The system includes a module generating assembly structured to receive at least one verification data element and create at least one digital identification module. This digital identification module is capable of being disposed or embedded within at least one electronic file and comprises at least one primary component structured to at least partially associate the digital identification module with the entity, and one or more metadata components.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Claim 1 (System): This claim describes a digital identification system that includes a digital identification module linked to an entity. A "module generating assembly" receives verification data from the entity (e.g., username/password, unique ID) to create this module. A key limitation of this module is that it is designed to be embedded within only a single electronic file. It also contains a "primary component" that visually or otherwise associates the module with the entity.
• Claim 23 (System): This claim presents a similar digital identification system to Claim 1, with the additional specification that the "primary component" within the digital identification module includes a digital signature. Like Claim 1, this module is specifically structured to be embedded within only a single electronic file.
• Claim 26 (Method): This claim outlines a method for verifying digital identification. The method consists of three steps:
  1. Receiving verification data from an entity.
  2. Creating a digital identification module for that entity, where this module includes a primary component associated with the entity.
  3. Embedding the created digital identification module into an electronic file.
     A crucial aspect of this method is that the digital identification module is designed to be embedded within only a single electronic file.
• Claim 39 (Method): This claim details a method for verifying the identification of an entity with an electronic file. It involves:
  1. Receiving verification data from the entity.
  2. Creating a digital identification module for the entity by combining a "primary component" (which includes a digital signature) with at least one "metadata component."
  3. Embedding this digital identification module into the electronic file.
     This method, consistent with the other independent claims, specifies that the digital identification module is cooperatively structured to be embedded within only a single electronic file.

CAFC 2026 Dockets:

As of April 26, 2026, a search of the publicly available CAFC scheduled cases for May and June 2026 did not explicitly list US patent 9054860. Therefore, I do not have authoritative information regarding any active litigation involving patent 9054860 in the CAFC dockets for 2026 based on the provided search results.
