Why a portfolio, not a feature
Anyone can build a consent screen. The method behind ours is owned.
The method, not just the interface
A competitor can redesign a screen. They cannot re-implement patented video-tracked informed consent. The protection sits on the method itself.
A runway through ~2042
The family traces to a January 2022 priority date, with protection extending roughly two decades out, well beyond a typical product cycle.
A living family
Three granted patents and an active pending continuation, all growing from a single priority filing. The portfolio is still expanding.
The portfolio
One filing in 2022, still growing today.
Every patent below descends from the same priority filing. Read top to bottom, it is the family's life so far, and where its protection reaches.

The protection is the product.
“Video tracking” is not a slogan. It is the enforced, presence-checked, tamper-evident consent process the family protects. See it working.
