The fastest way to gain a man’s affections, goes the old saying, is through his stomach. Spanish certification and consulting specialist Lleida.net is hoping the fastest way to win the affections of U.S. businesses is through the U.S. Patent Office.

FinDEVr alum Lleida.net (FDSV15) announced last week that it won a key patent for its registered email solution. The patent gives Lleida.net a 20-year lock on the technology and is the cornerstone of the company’s strategy for competing in the U.S. market. Lleida.net CEO Sisco Sapena said that the granting of the patent was a testament to “the effort Lleida.net’s team has made in recent years in developing registered electronic notification services and solutions.”

An innovator in the field of electronic communication registration and data validation, Lleida.net serves both public and private companies with registered email, invoices, SMS, and electronic contracts, as well as validation for IDs, passports, and other key documentation. Lleida.net serves as a “trusted third party” to help businesses build trust, better meet compliance regulations, and create legal evidence in e-commerce. It is the only solution of its kind that does not require either an installation on the user’s computer nor modifications to the email recipient.

Founded in 1995 and based in Lleida, Spain, Lleida.net presented “Who’s Guilty? Registered eCommunications: the Evidence for Developers, the Durable Media for Consumers” at our developer’s conference, FinDEVr, last fall.
