In the Status column of the above table, ‘Pending’ means that the
examination is still ongoing, as is the case of the US patent application for
ASIC Ultra Boost. In this particular case, the agreed wording for each
patent’s claims, which legally define the scope of
protection sought for the invention, has been agreed with
the US Patent Office & Trademark (“USPTO”) examiner, which generally
indicates a positive final stage of the examination process.
As also stated in the table, QBT has abandoned its initial UK applications in
favour of patent applications filed under the European Patent Convention
(“EP”), which covers 39 European countries, including the UK.
Francesco Gardin, CEO and Executive Chairman of QBT, commented
, “The approval process of patent applications can be a long one, which
could take many years. However, being granted a patent for a new product is
the only option if one wishes to build and then protect an IP portfolio with
inventions. As previously confirmed to the market, some of QBT’s technology
will remain an industrial trade secret, while other inventions will be
protected via patents. A number of factors are being considered by the Company
for each of its software innovations in order to best protect our intellectual
property.”
