Frequently asked questions.

Which AI governance patents has Audact filed?

44 patent-pending families covering inline proxy enforcement, compliance receipts, evidence chains, multi-agent orchestration, Article 50 attestation, biometric consent, watermark verification, and more.

Why file at the UK IPO first?

UK IPO filing establishes priority dates quickly and cost-effectively, then enables PCT international extension to the EU, US, and other jurisdictions within 12 months.

Is the portfolio available for licensing?

Yes — selective licensing is available for platforms and enterprise deployers. Contact patents@audact.ai for licensing enquiries.

Is “patent-pending” enforceable today?

Patent-pending gives Audact a publication date (priority), defensive disclosure value, and an investor/exit asset. Enforcement rights begin upon grant — accelerated examination is in progress on priority families. Until then we use “patent-pending,” never “patent-protected.”
