UK IPO · 2026 · Patent Portfolio
Audact has filed 44 AI governance patent families at the UK Intellectual Property Office, covering every layer of compliance — from real-time proxy enforcement to cryptographic evidence chains. 330+ individual claims.
All patents are filed under Audact Ltd (UK Companies House, 71-75 Shelton Street, London WC2H 9JQ; renamed from Audact AI Ltd in April 2026). Filings are lodged at the UK Intellectual Property Office as the priority authority — English-language prosecution, standard 12-month PCT window, and strong IP jurisprudence. PCT international filings (EPO, USPTO) begin February 2027.
