Monitor for discovery milestones and claim construction (Markman) hearings over the next 6-12 months. The denial of dismissal increases the probability of a settlement or adverse judgment, but the financial exposure remains unquantified. Verizon's $202.5B market cap makes this a low-magnitude event unless the patents are deemed core to its operations.

Executive Summary
The District Court of Delaware denied Verizon's motion to dismiss a patent infringement lawsuit brought by OnePass Data Technology LLC. The court ruled that OnePass's complaint plausibly alleged patent-eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101 and provided sufficient notice of infringement claims regarding data cleansing patents. This is an interlocutory ruling that allows the case to proceed to discovery, increasing Verizon's litigation exposure but with no immediate financial impact.
