- Versus
Systems, Inc. ("Versus" or the "Company") (CSE:VS) (OTCQB:VRSSF) (FRANKFURT:BMVA)
announces that,
pursuant to a Versus filing made in 2015, the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) has allowed 20 new claims
associated with a patent filing titled "PROMOTING COMPETITIVE
BALANCE IN MULTIPLAYER GAMING."
The
patented
claims
protect a
number of proprietary systems and methods for architecting
multiplayer matches and competitions in such a way that they
maximize the level of skill required to win, rather than relying on
elements of chance. Promoting competitive balance using these
methods will allow content companies - including major game
publishers, video platforms, and fitness apps - to offer real-world
prizes in more states, territories, and countries than they could
previously – dramatically increasing the potential number of
participants in a sweepstakes, tournament, or reward-based
competition. Versus
will be
using these patented
technologies in Versus-enabled
systems like HP OMEN, Animoca games, and
Kast video streams going forward
- allowing players to
play for real-world prizes inside their favorite
games, and allowing
viewers to earn rewards as well.
Developers and
publishers that partner with Versus will have access to the full
suite of protected claims and patents that
Versus has been granted, addressing
legal and
regulatory compliance dynamically across federal, state, and local
law - allowing content partners to place prizes in-game, or in-app
for their players to earn as they play.
In
addition to these
new
claims
granted by the USPTO,
as
well as their other issued
patents, Versus has filed a
number of other claims related to their platform that are currently
pending in the United States, and in other Patent Cooperation
Treaty countries. Versus actively develops new technologies for
prizing and rewards inside interactive media and files for
intellectual property protection accordingly.
