Notice of Allowance
On August 11, 2003, we announced that we will soon be receiving a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our patent application concerning a System and Method for Authenticating Users in a Computer Network. A notice of allowance was received from the Patent and Trademark Office and the issue fee has been paid. According to the Patent and Trademark Office, the patent is ready for issue.
The patent application, entitled “System and Method for Authenticating Users in a Computer Network,” describes what we believe is a fundamental method for controlling access to a computer network using biometric authentication. This method provides the flexibility administrators need to tailor biometric security for users within their organizations.
