As soon as we secured funding, we contracted developers from Universidad Simon Bolivar (Our CTO's Alma Matter).\r\nWe designed the basic SDK for PUA and the GUI/UI/UX for our messaging app, invisible-ink, [i-i].\r\nWe selected the iOS, because is more standard and easier to develop. \r\nIn the process, we created a back-end and an SDK that will work for an Android OS version of [i-i].
As we pivot from Industrial IoT (IIoT) to peer-to-peer communication, we had the dilemma of how to guarantee only authorized users had access to the sensitive information. Our CEO, Alejandro Fernandez had the aha-moment of why not using biometrics continuously. After reviewing the USPTO, we realized that there was no patent issued, so we decided to file one.\r\nWe contacted Bill Hulsey, a well-known patent attorney in Austin, that had worked with our CTO in previous patents.\r\nBenito and Alejandro wrote the patent application and filed it on 03/04/2020\r\nWe worked with Hulsey and Patent Reviewer until the patent issued 09/27/2022
We needed to raise funds for the patent application and the software development.\r\nWe raised, receiving checks from 10/16/2019 through 06/30/2021.\r\nWe also had a Multinational security company and Expert Dojo accelerator, both funding $25k.\r\nThe last funding was 10/25/2021.
Dr. Fernandez is a co-inventor of the Chaotic Hybrid Encryption Communication Kit (CHECK), assigned to The University of Texas at Austin (UT). After retiring (early) to commercialize this and other patents he co-invented, he secured an exclusive license for the patent.
