What Intellectual Property Protections Does InferTrust™ Have?

InferTrust™ holds patent-pending protection covering proof-of-inference mechanisms, device-bound signing, and domain-specific implementations across 63 claims.

Patent-Pending AI Decision Integrity Technology

The core InferTrust™ technology is Patent Pending. The patent application covers the proof-of-inference mechanism, device-bound key architecture, execution boundary signing, hash chain construction, and confidence-gated autonomous approval framework.

What This Means for Licensees

Enterprise and OEM licensees receive rights to deploy the patented technology within the scope of their license agreement. The patent-pending status provides licensees with assurance that they are deploying differentiated technology with intellectual property protections that competitors cannot replicate without licensing.

Competitive Moat

The patent-pending architecture addresses a specific and growing market need: cryptographic proof of AI decision integrity in regulated environments. As AI governance mandates expand globally, the patent position creates a defensible competitive advantage for both illuminis and its licensing partners. Organizations that embed InferTrust™'s patented technology into their products gain a compliance and trust differentiator that is not available from general-purpose AI logging or observability platforms.

Trademark Protection

InferTrust™ is a registered trademark of illuminis. OEM and white-label licensees receive appropriate trademark usage rights, or may use their own branding under white-label terms.
