New Patent Expands Metaverse Commerce and Control to 
the World’s $49 Trillion Consumer Economy

IP Portfolio Available for Licensing, Partnering or Acquisition

New York, NY — Month #, 2022 (embargoed; do not release yet) — Liquidax Capital today announces the issuance of U.S. Patent 11,222,298, which expands user control of advertising and content in both tomorrow's Metaverses and in today’s digital commerce. This joins the Expandiverse patent family that has received 1,759 patent citations. 318 of these citations are from just Amazon, Google, Apple, IBM, Samsung and Microsoft.

“Fierce competition for Metaverse competitive advantages is exploding,” says Daniel Drolet, CEO of Liquidax Capital, which represents this patent family. “These IP assets will assist Metaverse designers, business strategists and senior executives so their Metaverses work across today’s $49 trillion dollar consumer economy. This empowers users to determine the ads and content they want across their devices, and also grows their privacy. Personal control is elevated above the devices, operating systems and platforms that are used.”

Current evidence shows that large numbers of users take control of their digital interfaces and privacy when they can. An interface example is ad blocking where research showed that 47% of Internet users globally used an ad blocker in 2019. A privacy example is ad tracking where 96% of U.S. iPhone users took control when Apple enabled it in 2021.

This new patent, titled “User-controlled Digital Environment across Devices, Places, and Times” enables users to decide key parts of their user interface and privacy. This new Metaverse layer disrupts the “sellers’ Internet” that currently delivers the commercial and information choices today’s “economic system” guides people to use.

“Right now, we can’t fix problems like sustainability, climate change, health and inequality, says Dan Abelow, creator of Expandiverse Technology and owner of this IP family. “But with this patent people can fight climate change by simply choosing sustainability. In this example, ads and content are sent to the user’s devices but the user who chooses sustainability will see ads and content for more sustainable products and services. This disrupts digital marketing and communications with choices people want while getting rid of ads and content they do not want. When people have a digital layer where they control digital commerce they will transform markets in industries like energy, food, clothing, beverages, automobiles and travel. For example, after each regional climate disaster like a drought or wildfires, millions of people could use a few clicks to switch their devices to ads and content that solve the climate crisis faster.”

“This is the latest patent in the Expandiverse’s Real World Metaverse™ family,” says Drolet. Additional patent divisionals and continuations will be filed in conjunction with the business goals of new licensees, partners or an acquirer, since this portfolio’s Metaverse IP specification includes 1,400 pages and 282 figures, which the U.S. Patent Office divided into 31 technology categories.

“This Metaverse patent family is already growing within Intellectual Property circles,” Drolet adds. “One-third of its 1,759 patent citations are from 20 of the world’s leading technology companies.”

“Liquidax specializes in large emerging markets,” Drolet concludes. “We are identifying firms for private conversations on the licensing, partnering or acquisition of this IP portfolio. We welcome inquiries from executives who aspire to lead Metaverses and Metaverse applications that will position them at the top of their markets.”
