SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2015) - ImageWare Systems, Inc. (
A notice of allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office is a written notification that a patent application has cleared internal review and will be granted. The patent will represent ImageWare's 11 th U.S. patent, and the company expects additional patents to follow.
Under the patent application, ImageWare seeks exclusive rights to the search process of comparing multiple modalities, whether it be in a single search method in which all modalities are compared simultaneously, or a multiple search method in which one modality is compared to another and is eventually narrowed down to the matching modal.
Once the patent is granted, it will cover database search and biometric comparison strategies that support both asynchronous and synchronous searches of two or more biometric modalities.
"We continue to strategically position ourselves as a leader in the quickly growing biometric space," said ImageWare Chairman and CEO Jim Miller. "The addition of this patent will extend our already broad intellectual property coverage to include the method of searching databases, both large and small, to determine if they consist of multiple biometric modalities for search and match. This coverage further protects ImageWare's flagship product, IWS Biometric Engine®, and the underlying technology that enables enterprises to biometrically search and match populations for identity confirmation."
