NatGold Strengthens IP Strategy With Seven USPTO Patent Filings
NatGold Digital Ltd has announced a significant advancement in its intellectual property roadmap with the submission of seven full (non-provisional) patent applications to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Filed by the Company’s legal advisers, Lowenstein Sandler LLP, these applications build on NatGold’s provisional patent filings made in 2025.
This step transitions NatGold’s patent portfolio from initial priority protection into formal USPTO examination, enhancing the Company’s capacity to defend the proprietary processes and system-level architecture at the core of its digital mining platform and reinforcing the long-term resilience of its business model.
Together, the seven applications address the complete lifecycle of tokenizing in-ground gold resources validated by independent technical reports. They also encompass a sustainability and integrity credit structure, valuation models for unextracted assets intended for tokenization, and governance, compliance, and risk management mechanisms tailored for regulated environments—including KYC and AML requirements. In addition, the filings outline interoperability approaches aligned with national digital currency infrastructures, including Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
Alongside these filings, NatGold has submitted additional provisional patent applications as part of its broader IP strategy, which the Company intends to convert into full applications over time.
“These filings are designed to protect the methods and system architecture that link gold resources held within Mother Nature’s Vault to a compliance-ready token framework,” said CEO Andrés Fernández. “That protection gives us the confidence to scale, engage in strategic partnerships, and explore future licensing opportunities while maintaining control over our core intellectual property. For those seeking a deeper understanding of how the model operates and why these elements are critical, our educational YouTube series explains the concepts in a clear and practical way.”
With the full applications now on file, they will proceed through the USPTO’s examination process. Patent rights will be secured only if and when the applications are approved and issued, based on the final claims accepted by the USPTO.
NatGold views a mature, examination-ready patent portfolio as a cornerstone of its corporate strategy—supporting ecosystem trust, strengthening its competitive edge, and building confidence among stakeholders as real-world asset (RWA) solutions continue to develop.
