Phunware has announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowance for the Company’s patent application US10038972B1 entitled “Monitoring Outdoor and Indoor Regions with Mobile Devices.” This new patent allowance further strengthens, expands and protects the Company’s core patent portfolio underlying its Multiscreen-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform
“Broadening the definition of what this family of patents covers allows us more options and alternatives to monetize this valuable IP asset either through commercial licensing or legal enforcement,” said Tushar Patel, EVP of Corporate Development of Phunware. “Customers who already license our existing MaaS platform also benefit in parallel from dramatically more precise indoor and outdoor tracking and triggering technology versus our global competitors, including both proximity and sub-one-second blue dot use cases and features.”
