Network-1 Subsidiary Receives New Patent from U.S. Patent Office Expanding Its HFT Patent Portfolio To Include 7 Issued U.S. Patents

NEW CANAAN, CT / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2022 / Network-1 Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American:NTIP), a company engaged in the acquisition, development, licensing, and monetization of intellectual property, announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 11,329,655 (Field Programmable Gate Array with Internal Phase-Locked Loop) to its wholly-owned subsidiary (HFT Solutions, LLC). The claims in the newly issued patent are generally directed toward certain advanced technologies relating to high frequency trading.

The newly issued patent arises from a patent application contained in the HFT patent portfolio acquired by Network-1 in March 2022 ("HFT Patent Portfolio"). Network-1's HFT Patent Portfolio covers certain advanced technologies relating to high frequency trading, which inventions specifically address technological problems associated with speed and latency and provide critical latency gains in trading systems where the difference between success and failure may be measured in nanoseconds.

With this latest issuance, the Network-1's HFT Patent Portfolio now includes seven issued U.S. patents and three pending U.S. patent applications. The patent terms of the HFT Patent Portfolio are currently expected to extend until 2039. Network-1 anticipates further issuances of additional claims for its HFT Patent Portfolio.
