Kofax® plc (LSE: KFX), a leading provider of smart process applications for the business critical First Mile TM of customer interactions, today reported it has been issued an extension on patent number 8,345,981 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent, first issued in January 2013, covers technology that determines the validity of critical data extracted from documents captured using a mobile device by reverse matching the extracted data with a pre-existing database of that information, and correcting erroneous or suspicious data, thus ensuring its accuracy. The technology incorporated within this patent is currently being used within Kofax Mobile Capture TM solutions.

"Using third-party data for data scrubbing or to validate and correct information is a critical component of Kofax Mobile Capture," said Drew Hyatt, Senior Vice President of Mobile Applications at Kofax. "For example, the technology embodied in this patent allows us to expand our mobile capture capabilities to include using a postal database to correct addresses captured from driver licenses and using a biller database to correct data captured from consumer bills."

Kofax will be demonstrating part of this patented technology at FinovateAsia in Singapore on November 14. During the one-day showcase, Kofax Mobile Capture experts will highlight how this technology can turn mobile devices into powerful imaging platforms.

Kofax's intellectual property portfolio also includes patents relating to digital image quality, data capture capabilities, and business process technologies. Kofax has 24 issued U.S. patents, 15 issued foreign patents and 42 patent applications pending worldwide.
