Patents and filings

What has been filed, at the level that can be stated publicly.

VoicePrint

A biometric voice authentication system disclosed in USPTO provisional patent application 63/947,120. The application is a filing, not an issued patent. VoicePrint is the identity layer of the Suede trust stack: it ties a human voice to a verifiable credential so that authorship, consent and likeness can be proven rather than asserted.

Provisional filings

Seven provisional patent applications have been filed covering the identity, hardware and provenance layers of the stack. Titles and claims are not published until the applications convert.

Why file at all

A self-funded company competing with platform incumbents needs defensible ground. Filings are that ground. They also force precision: a claim has to be reduced to practice before it can be written down.
