Australian business software developer BOS GLOBAL HOLDINGS Limited (LON:BOS) has moved a step closer to securing key patents on its intellectual property (IP).
The workplace optimisation software specialist revealed that IP Australia has issued reports on Australian patent applications 2017200601 (Managing Activities Performed By Users) and 2017200602 (Verifying Time Based Services) and, according to BOS's patent attorneys the patent applications should proceed to acceptance once a few formalities have been finalised.
