The patent application was filed in Canada on November 12, 2021.

"This patent increases the scope of our patent portfolio and provides INEO with an even more defensible position to protect the INEO Welcoming System product line," stated Greg Watkin President, Chairman and Founder of INEO. "The latest patent involves technology INEO will use for the production of our revolutionary INEO Welcoming System plus it will be used in an all-new portfolio of detection pedestals which work as companion products to the INEO Welcoming System. The new detection pedestals will extend INEO's ability to deliver the right solution for the right retail situation, creating wider use cases for the INEO Welcoming System. I am also pleased to report we have three inventors listed on this patent in addition to myself, which reflects on the depth of the technology team and expertise which we have developed."

As INEO adds more edge processing and AI abilities within the INEO Welcoming System the Company will continue to innovate to ensure the EAS detection capabilities are also enhanced.
