An Illinois federal judge has ruled against Citadel Securities in their attempt to dismiss patent infringement claims brought by a software company concerning computer microchips. The judge stated that she was not convinced that the patents in question were too abstract to be considered valid.

The decision was made by Judge Sharon J. Coleman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, denying Citadel Securities’ motion to escape the patent claims filed against them.

The software company, represented by law firms Bartlit Beck and Russ August, alleged that Citadel Securities had infringed upon their patents related to computer microchips.
