edatanetworks Inc.’s portfolio of granted patents expands with the approval of patent with serial number 17/323,427, “Transaction for Tamper and Quality Evidenced Delivery of Purchase Incented by Donation” from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
“The patent describes an environment where a merchant and delivery provider fund donations that are directed to community organizations selected by the consumer,” said Chief Executive Officer, Terry Tietzen. “The post-transaction market research component leverages transaction data to engage consumers in real-time to provide anonymous e-feedback on verified purchases directly to the shipper and the merchant regarding their experience. These delivery, philanthropic, and market research components redefine and repurpose the shipping / delivery models currently in place.”
“This patent further solidifies the core principles of our intellectual property’s DNA in which donations are 100% merchant defined, 100% pass-through, and consumer-directed at no cost to the consumer,” Tietzen added.
