Intellectual property
Invented by Patrick Kealy and Rodney Houriani, granted by the USPTO between 2021 and 2023. Every claim below links to the official record — we think a security product should be checkable.

Retractable connectors physically separate the data pins from the power pins, so a device can keep charging while data transmission is disabled entirely.
US 11,251,634 B2
A switch built into the cable physically disconnects the data or power lines, letting the user decide exactly what flows between devices — no software involved.
US 11,631,984 B2
An illuminated status indicator confirms the cable's security mode in real time, so the user always knows whether data transfer is possible.
Per the company's investor materials, international patent applications have been filed in Canada, the European Union, Hong Kong, and India, reflecting a strategy of protecting key global markets. Status of pending applications changes over time — partners performing diligence receive current prosecution status directly.
Data/power selectivity and status illumination in a charging cable — the features that make secure charging practical — are protected as granted claims, not pending applications.
Three patents cover the mechanism from different angles: the selectable switch, the retractable physical disconnection, and the illuminated status confirmation. Together they form a defensive thicket around the product category.
The portfolio is available for licensing and co-development — for cable manufacturers who want a differentiated security line, and for device or accessory brands that want the feature integrated.
