Popular Post brjXRP17 738 Posted September 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2020 Guys, According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), here is a list of all the patents owned by Ripple Labs, Inc., a few of which have been recently published this year (2020). The company has added quite a bit of intellectual property since I first started following the company back in May of 2017. Please note that all of these patents have not been awarded yet; most are marked "patent pending." Also, the United States is a first-to-file country. When comparing two similar patents, an inventor's "priority date" is considered the date the patent was filed. This changed under the Obama Administration, for the United States used to be a first-to-invent country. If anyone can help me find the RTGS Global Limited patent, that would be great (in the meantime, I will keep looking). Would love to see/read the RTGS patent and see the priority date. For example, let's say there is patent overlap or similarities between a patent pending application Ripple owns versus the patent pending application RTGS Global Limited owns, it could come down to the filing date (the priority date). Now, this is all speculation, but again, I would love to see/read the RTGS patent. Lastly, please go read the background description on the "Private asset transactions" patent pending application and the "Multiple asset transactions" patent pending application. Both of those were super excited to read. 1.)

mike91 524 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 If I remember it well there are several Ripple employees who have patents registered that might be interesting to look Link to post Share on other sites
King34Maine 2,262 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I wonder if the "Private Asset Transactions" patent developed by @nikb is the same/related to the "Blinded Tag" proposal he proposed back in March/April of this year? KarmaCoverage 1 Link to post Share on other sites

CryptoSteveO 0 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Out of curiosity, how do you know RTGS Global has a patent or patent application? Was it mentioned somewhere? Link to post Share on other sites

Random oracles in open networks (2/12/2018) My first thought after reading this was "oh, like signal hopping". If you have a group of validators with overlapping UNLs, each running a cluster. They can have a per-shared sequence of which node in each's cluster to trust during which future time windows. Then each validator operator would change their UNL to another node in the other validator's cluster. This would look like constantly changing UNLs to an unknowing ledger observer. From the perspective of the Validator operator's perspective, its like having some static IPs but to meet quorum they also need to agree on some variable but known set of IPs Does this even make any sense to people who know better?

Well, I don't know if I "know better" - but, yeah, some of the first things that came to mind when I was reading consensus whitepapers way back when was applying one-time-pad / frequency hopping schemes to them... The things that some groups have patented in the last few years are shit that'd I'd toss out as "obvious" based upon the prior art, much of it going back nearly a hundred years... but, ya know, lawyers wanna lawyer. (And 15 year olds think everything is "novel.") One of the most underappreciated things Bob Way ever said here was re: the need to patent things not necessarily to keep others from using them, but, mostly, to protect one's own rights to use those methods - without being dragged down into legal muck.
