Our patent strategy

Intellectual property is an important aspect of the Fingerprints' business plan and patent applications are continuously filed for a wide variety of strategically important technologies within the field of biometrics. Patent protection is always proactively sought in close proximity to product development and patent applications are filed globally to seek protection in several key markets, such as the Americas and important countries in Europe and Asia. Fingerprints is also continuously monitoring the market to evaluate new opportunities for capitalizing on patents while identifying and taking actions to counter any infringements of the company’s existing patents.

Fingerprints has a strong patent portfolio which is well balanced between the various biometric technologies of the company. Patents are registered for a number of different technologies, such as biometric algorithms, fingerprint image handling, sensing systems and packaging technology, etc. The strong and well balanced patent portfolio makes it easier for customers to launch products featuring a Fingerprints biometric system solution globally in growing markets.

Development activities are continuously evaluated from a patent protection perspective in order to immediately identify strategic patent applications. Fingerprints will continue to strengthen and expand its patent portfolio by continuously filing patent applications for strategically important technologies. The patent portfolio may also be strengthened through patents acquired from a third party.
