edatanetworks Inc. has announced that the International Searching Authority (ISA) has issued a positive Written Opinion for its internationally filed patent application, which focuses on artificial intelligence designed to benefit communities.
The ISA deemed all 20 claims within the application novel, inventive, and industrially applicable. This assessment was issued for the application filed in Geneva, Switzerland, through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), enhancing edatanetworks’ position in AI-driven civic infrastructure globally. The favorable ISA report also facilitates accelerated examination under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH), which will allow edatanetworks to expedite the protection of its technology across major international markets.
Central to this innovation is a patent-pending system that utilizes Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) to design, predict, and rank fundraising campaigns. These campaigns aim to generate measurable community impact through everyday commerce. The AI forms teams by leveraging behavioral, demographic, and social-connection data to optimize engagement.
Campaigns are funded through merchant contributions, where each consumer purchase automatically triggers a verified contribution to a charity selected by the buyer. The system ranks campaigns in real time based on predicted performance and community outcomes, integrating commerce, social good, and data-driven engagement. This patent extends edatanetworks’ existing intellectual property portfolio and reinforces its AI-powered civic infrastructure model, designed for scalability, security, and integration with digital and financial ecosystems to advance community resilience, disaster relief, drive merchant-funded contributions, and deliver measurable social impact.
Terry Tietzen, Chief Executive Officer of edatanetworks, commented on the development, stating, “We’re very pleased with this positive opinion from the International Searching Authority. It validates and reinforces the uniqueness of our AI patented and proven platform while strengthening our leadership in creating intellectual property that benefits both business and society through technology and digital commerce. This patent filing solidifies our position globally and opens the door to strategic collaboration with partners who share our vision of doing good through commerce.”edatanetworks Inc.
