The publication of a Patent application marks the date at which it is publicly available and, therefore, at which it forms full prior art for other Patent applications worldwide.

- USA Patent enhances previously granted China Patent for “On the Go” or “OTG” scanner.

YPB Executive Chairman John Houston said: “Building an Intellectual Property portfolio has been a strategy since inception and the milestone of having the earlier China Patent extended to the USA is valuable for YPB and our customers. YPB believes in a world where products can be scanned using smartphones as a convenient means of product authentication and a trigger for valuable customer engagement.”
