Network-1 Receives New Patent from U.S. Patent Office Expanding Its M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio to 55 Patents Worldwide
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 has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,166,869, Key Derivation for a Module Using an Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card.
The newly issued patent is part of Network-1's M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio that relates to, among other things, the enabling technology for authenticating and using embedded SIM cards (e-SIMs) in next generation IoT, Machine-to-Machine, and other mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers as well as automobiles. e-SIMs replace the traditional SIM card with internal circuitry that can be remotely provisioned with one or more profiles to access wireless networks. A study by the Trusted Connectivity Alliance (TCA) found that consumer profile downloads to smartphones, watches, tablets, automobiles, and other similar devices increased by more than 109% in 2023. According to TCA, total e-SIM enabled device shipments during 2023 approximated 374 million units.
Other patents in the M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio relate to enabling technologies for 5G network authentication used in consumer and M2M devices, and the latest available Internet transport layer security solutions.
Network-1's M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio now includes forty (40) issued U.S. patents (and 7 pending applications), plus fifteen (15) issued non-U.S. patents. The patent terms of the MTM/IoT Patent Portfolio are currently expected to extend until 2033-2034. Network-1 anticipates further issuances of additional claims for the M2M/IoT Patent Portfolio.
