Arria NLG plc
("Arria NLG" or the "Company")
Grant of Additional US Patent
Arria NLG plc (AIM:NLG), a leader in the development and
deployment of Natural Language Generation ("NLG") technologies, is
pleased to announce that it has received notice from the United
States Patent and Trademark Office that its application for a
patent on its Method and Apparatus for Interactive Reports will be
granted. Arria NLG's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Robert Dale, led
a team that created this important new feature of the Arria NLG
Engine(TM).
This unique and powerful feature produces multilayered reports
that allow Arria NLG's clients to interactively drill down into
automatically generated narratives to illuminate key aspects of the
relevant data, to call up automatically generated graphs and
charts, and to hyperlink to reference works, video tutorials and
other functionality features. This interactive function adds
further value to the analytic narratives Arria NLG creates from big
data, making it possible for a single automatically generated
report to serve the needs of many audiences by allowing the reader
to determine where more information or explanation is needed. This
'self-service' approach to information delivery results in
productivity increases such that, experts are able to focus on more
high value activities.
Arria NLG's patents and patent applications cover critical NLG
processes that the Company currently applies in a growing list of
industries, including meteorology, oil & gas production,
agronomy, aviation, travel, consumer goods, financial services and
insurance. Arria NLG's expanding patent portfolio strengthens its
plan to become the global leader in automating the analysis and
writing of reports on big data in any industrial or consumer
setting.
Arria NLG is vigilant with its intellectual property protection,
and we note that one patent infringement lawsuit not involving
Arria NLG has recently commenced in the NLG space. Arria NLG is
strongly positioned to defend its intellectual property and
continues to expand its patent portfolio.
Dr. Robert Dale, Chief Strategy Scientist and Chief Technology
Officer of Arria NLG, commented: "This patent will be the fourth of
our US patent applications that have been fully reviewed and acted
upon by the patent office. So far none of our applications have
been rejected. It is gratifying to see our efforts to achieve
patent protection for the Company's many innovations in Artificial
Intelligence begin to bear fruit, especially as competitors emerge
and litigation among competitors over patent infringement begins in
the NLG field."
Stuart Rogers, Chairman and Chief Executive of Arria NLG,
stated: "Arria NLG's progress in the past year has been a continual
process of expanding our client base, building new features and
benefits into our technology solutions to better serve the needs of
our clients, developing new technological innovations to enhance
our NLG applications and protecting our core innovations via a
robust and expanding patent programme. With numerous additional
patent applications currently filed and pending, this fourth US
patent to be granted to Arria NLG is part of a continuous stream of
patentable innovations that Arria NLG's science and engineering
teams are producing. It represents a very sound and valuable
investment in our future."
