About two weeks ago, data from Iotaarchive revealed that the number of patent apps that referenced the IOTA technology has distinctly increased to 111 patent applications. All these came from 44 companies at the ending of the just-concluded year.
Recently, an approved patent belonging to Siemens and backed by the IOTA token went public. The IOTA token is basically used to complement the system that protects application processes in order to prevent brute force attacks.
This patent mentioned above is the 13th reference for IOTA by Siemens. The 14th and 15th patents were approved by the European Patent Office a couple of days ago.
The two patents were filed in April 2018. However, these were not allowed to be opened to the public notice due to the rule guiding patent application that says applications must remain secret for 18 months from the day it was filed.
