Oslo, Norway, 9 October 2019: IDEX Biometrics ASA, the leading provider of
advanced fingerprint identification and authentication solutions, has been
granted a patent by the UK Intellectual Property Office for unconnected on-card
enrollment on biometric smart cards.
This patent is in the same patent family as enrollment patents granted to IDEX
Biometrics by the United States Patent and Trademark office and IP Australia
earlier this year. IDEX Biometrics also has patents pending for this innovation
in other major territories, in addition to its large portfolio of patents and
applications covering its world-leading fingerprint sensor and biometric
algorithm technology.
Stan Swearingen, CEO of IDEX Biometrics, commented, "The UK is a strategically
important market for biometric smart cards and recent high-profile bank pilots
in the country substantiate that remote enrollment is crucial for mass
deployment. Our unconnected on-card enrollment solution provides the ability to
enroll a fingerprint in a simple, secure and convenient way. We are confident
that it is becoming the industry standard."
A demonstration of IDEX's remote enrollment solution is available here.
