Data Quality Solutions (www.dqs.us) announced that the US Patent & Trademark Office has issued the company an expedited patent for its integrated services oriented and grid architecture.
DQS said the USPTO granted the rare expedited patent because the company's Enterprise Business Process Management System and Method was deemed important for "countering terrorism."
The company's technology provides for the integration of all types of data and applications on all platforms from any domestic or international agency under one combined services oriented and grid architecture, DQS said. Applications are easily integrated into platform or language-specific processing engines, and the data is passed to the different integrated applications in the sequences that are designed and tested using a graphical interface.
"The present invention is applicable to all data and application integration projects currently being conducted by government and international agencies responsible for counter-terrorism activities," DQS said.
"The Inventor Service Center within the Patent & Trademark Office informed us that only 10 companies in the past 40 years have received this type of expedited patent review," stated company chairman John Walsh. "Naturally, we are very proud and look forward to putting our invention to work countering terrorism as soon as possible."
Data Quality Solutions said its invention provides the benefits of reduced cost, time and complexity of data and application integration, one of the largest and most costly challenges facing the intelligence, security and law enforcement communities.
