Brand Protection and Customer Engagement solutions Company YPB Group Ltd (ASX: YPB) is pleased to announce that is has received notification from the US Patent office of the publication. 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.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • USA Patent enhances previously granted China Patent for “On the Go” or “OTG” scanner.
  • Extends interface to “Bluetooth” and other wireless connections to mobile smartphones as well as USB connectivity.

This Patent extends the scanner utility Patent granted on 17th February 2016 by China’s SIPO. This USA Patent application extends the protection of the China SIPO Patent to include wireless connectivity capabilities for YPB’s scanner technology – most immediately, to enable the scanner to connect to smartphones via, for example, Bluetooth as well as USB connectivity.

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.”

YPB Group (ASX: YPB) is a pioneer in advanced brand protection solutions. Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, YPB is expanding its global footprint with an established presence in Australia, China, Thailand, USA, and Mexico.
