European Patent: A Foundation Across the Continent
The issuing of stampfree's European patent provides broad protection across member states of the European Patent Convention, covering the key technical innovations that underpin our AI-powered labelfree solution. For stampfree's partners and customers operating across European markets, this protection provides confidence that the technology underpinning their operations is uniquely ours.
Hugh Craigie Halkett, CEO of stampfree.ai, commented:
"The issuing of our European patent is a defining moment for stampfree. It is formal recognition from one of the world's most rigorous patent authorities that what we have built is genuinely new, a technology that solves a real problem in a way that no one else has. This protection gives our partners and investors the assurance that stampfree's advantage is defensible and enduring."
US Patent Grant: Validation in the World's Largest E-Commerce Market
The approval of stampfree's United States patent by the USPTO – again for labelfree - further extends the company's protected IP into the world's largest e-commerce market. The US grant follows a thorough examination process and confirms the novelty and inventiveness of stampfree's core technology under one of the most demanding patent systems globally.
Richard Beattie, Chair of stampfree.ai, added:
"Achieving patent protection in the United States is a strategic cornerstone for stampfree's international growth. It positions us to engage with major US logistics operators and retailers from a position of proven, protected innovation - and it signals to the global market that stampfree is building something that matters.
These dual protections mark not just a legal milestone, but a commercial one too. With stampfree's technology now patented in the UK, Europe and the United States and patent pending elsewhere, the business enters its next phase of growth with a protected, proven platform - and a clear mandate to scale.
