CardinalCommerce Adds to U.S. Patent Holdings

CardinalCommerce, the provider of remote commerce, has secured its 29th patent. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has allowed application 12/548,849, entitled Intelligent Directory Server Routing.

This patent application protects various services like dynamically ranking and routing requests from redundant servicers based on volume, latency, functionality and other criteria.

CardinalCommerce Corporation enables authenticated payments, secure transactions and alternative payment brands for both eCommerce and mobile commerce.

"Networks, payment brands, gateways, processors and many other suppliers in the payment and information based industries would benefit from the technology taught in the application,” said Phil Romano, Cardinal's vice president of Operations. “There are plenty of opportunities for organizations that handle or process transactions to increase the efficiency, reliability, security and scalability of their service with our intelligent server routing know-how and intellectual property. This is especially applicable for cloud-based and/or centralized services."

"We have worked with Cardinal for more than a decade to create, strengthen and grow their globally protective intellectual property (IP) portfolio. From inception they had the foresight to invest in their technology and IP,” said Patrick R. Roche of Fay Sharpe LLP, a nationally prominent IP law firm. “We are comfortable that Cardinal's portfolio is broad, comprehensive and expanding."

"These awards continue to show the intellectual property breadth Cardinal has in addressing the needs of the marketplace," Roche added.

"We are excited because this adds to our Cardinal SafeCloud capabilities," said Mike Keresman, chief executive officer at Cardinal. "We believe that processors, gateways, payment brands and networks that rely on multiple servers to provide their services would find this property of particular use. Our IP and established capabilities combine to provide the broadest range of services and help 'future proof' our Customers' needs."

Cardinal's intellectual property portfolio includes 29 issued patents and more than 60 pending patent applications.

The company's SaaS (News - Alert) software platforms for merchants, banks, processors and transaction supply chain providers create friction-free interoperability among otherwise disparate and incompatible operating systems. 

Payments vary from traditional credit and debit card brands like MasterCard and Visa, to established and emerging payment brands like PayPal (News - Alert), Green Dot and Alipay.
