edatanetworks Inc. Receives Approval for Artificial Intelligence Patent Benefiting Community from International Searching Authority

EDMONTON, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--edatanetworks Inc. today announced that the International Searching Authority (ISA) has issued a positive Written Opinion on its internationally filed patent application for artificial intelligence designed to benefit communities. All 20 claims were deemed novel, inventive, and industrially applicable — a powerful validation of edatanetworks’ pioneering work at the intersection of AI, commerce, and social impact.

Filed in Geneva, Switzerland through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), the application strengthens edatanetworks’ global position as a leader in AI-driven civic infrastructure.

This favorable ISA report enables accelerated examination under the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH), allowing edatanetworks to fast-track protection of its technology across major international markets. At the heart of this innovation is a patent-pending system that uses Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs) to design, predict, and rank fundraising campaigns that drive measurable community impact through everyday commerce:

• The AI forms teams using behavioral, demographic, and social-connection data to optimize engagement.
• Campaigns are powered by merchant-funded contributions – every consumer purchase automatically triggers a verified contribution to a charity chosen by the buyer.
• Campaigns are ranked in real time based on predicted performance and community outcomes, blending commerce, social good, and data-driven engagement.

This patent builds on edatanetworks’ existing intellectual property portfolio and reinforces the AI-powered civic infrastructure model – scalable, secure, and designed to integrate with major digital and financial ecosystems to:

• Advance community resilience and disaster relief.
• Drive merchant-funded contributions through digital commerce.
• Deliver measurable social impact through AI-driven engagement.

“We’re very pleased with this positive opinion from the International Searching Authority,” said Terry Tietzen, Chief Executive Officer of edatanetworks. “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.”
