  We consider the patch problem of the $\alpha$-SQG equation with $\alpha=0$
being the 2D Euler and $\alpha= \frac{1}{2}$ the SQG equations respectively. In
the Eulerian setting, we prove the uniqueness of patch solutions of regularity
$W^{2, \frac{1}{1-2\alpha} +} $ when $0<\alpha< \frac{1}{2}$ and $C^{1,
4\alpha+ }$ when $0<\alpha< \frac{1}{4} $. The proof is intrinsic to the
modified Biot-Savart law and independent of the local existence of patch
solutions.
