Loyyal Broadens IP Portfolio With Latest Singapore Patent Award

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Loyyal, the industry leader in bringing blockchain technologies to today's loyalty and incentive programs, announced the award by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore of Patent number 10201808109Q, for Distributed Ledger Protocol to Incentivize Transactional and Non-Transactional Commerce. This latest addition to Loyyal's growing portfolio of intellectual property covers incentive and loyalty program implementation methods using distributed ledger protocol systems including blockchain technologies, to incentivize transactional and non-transactional behavior.  

This same intellectual property along with other associated patents at various stages of approval in over eight territories globally, including a patent grant awarded in Japan, provides Loyyal's clients in Travel & Hospitality, Financial Services, and other sectors the assurances needed to expand deployment of the industry's first enterprise-grade blockchain solution for loyalty and incentive programs. By enhancing their programs' liquidity and interoperability via Loyyal's technologies, these market leaders help unlock a portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars in value locked up in member balances today. Key to this particular patent issued is the recognition that the tokenization and management of loyalty program incentives -- traditionally points, miles, or "stars" - need not only be for typical behaviors such as purchases; it includes non-transactional behaviors as well, such as reaching a goal or visiting a particular location.

"We are pleased to secure this strategically important patent grant from the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore as a part of Loyyal's broader, long term global patent strategy," said Greg Simon, CEO and Founder. "Given the innovation and economic leadership role of Singapore in the broader Asia-Pacific region, we are excited about the new opportunities and partnerships this opens for Loyyal in Singapore, and in Asia at large."
