Patent Pending
The status behind the mark — as of 26 September 2026.
Short version. "Patent Pending" on Vermarco means exactly what the term means in law: applications describing the rail are on file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and are pending. The applications were filed between July and September 2026. Each records a priority date for the subject matter it discloses and enables, and each carries a fixed twelve-month date by which a utility application claiming its benefit must be filed to preserve that priority. None has been taken up for examination — examination begins only after a utility application claiming benefit is on file — and no patent has issued. This page states that position plainly so that counsel, investors and diligence teams read the same record we do.
What is on file
92 U.S. patent applications across the venture family as of 26 September 2026, filed with the USPTO in the name of the founder:
The agent-to-agent commerce rail and the products built on it: a stateless relay with signed provenance; zero-storage de-identification; paired condition-and-execution receipts; attested metering and deferred settlement; a non-conveying witness for pay-per-request exchanges; behavior-derived authority envelopes; directory-routed dispatch of agents into live sessions.
Cross-manufacturer robot-fleet orchestration that runs on the same rail: witnessed transfer of actuation authority, epoch-fenced commits, mission identity that survives power loss, humanoid-embodied fleet control.
Filings for AIRE Nine, Magnonic, Audiio, Legacy Music and a spintronics lane, drafted to the same standard.
Every filing was prepared to one written house standard before the USPTO receipt date: a specification and formal drawings that describe the system as operated, numbered claims, an internal prior-art search, and multi-round independent technical review before chair sign-off. The complete record for each filing — every specification version, search report, reviewer note and sign-off — is archived and produced to counsel and diligence teams under NDA.
What the mark does not claim
- No application has been taken up for examination, and no patent has issued. We do not describe these filings as granted, issued or allowed, and we ask partners and press not to.
- Application numbers and filing dates are not published here. They are available to counterparties under NDA.
The calendar
- Utility filings. Each application carries a fixed date twelve months after filing by which a utility application claiming its benefit must be filed to preserve that priority; the earliest of those dates falls in July 2027. A ranked docket, already under active management, governs which families are advanced inside their respective windows; those filings are made with patent counsel.
- Examination. After the utility filings are made, the USPTO examines each application on its merits. What the portfolio becomes from that point turns on examination and on the specific claims that survive it. We do not publish predicted office-action dates; that calendar belongs to the USPTO.
- Continuation. New filings are added as the rail grows and follow the same house standard.
The portfolio's present posture rests on recorded priority dates, one written house standard applied to every filing before receipt, and a ranked docket already under active management. We publish the actual status so counsel and diligence teams start from the same record.
