London, UK – 27 August 2025 – Previse, the AI-Native B2B data intelligence specialists, today announced it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its next US patent (Application No. 18/222166).
This continuation patent builds strategically upon Previse’s prior US patent (US 11783431B2) for automated invoice payment scoring, granted in October 2023. Where the original patent focused on AI-driven payment decisions, this new patent extends protection across the broader procure-to-pay lifecycle.
The patent secures Previse’s intellectual property in critical areas, including:
“This patent validates our systematic approach to innovation in B2B transaction intelligence,” said Pieter Berkelaar, CEO of Previse. “Where our original patent established the foundation for payment automation, this continuation protects how we’re applying AI across the full procure to pay ecosystem. We’re not just transforming how suppliers are paid—we’re building the intelligent infrastructure that will define the future of business-to-business commerce.”
The Notice of Allowance concludes substantive examination by the USPTO and confirms a patent will be granted following administrative steps. This strengthens Previse’s IP portfolio as enterprises increasingly seek intelligent, automated solutions for P2P inefficiencies and working capital optimisation.
“This milestone reinforces our leadership in AI-native B2B data intelligence for enterprise,” added Berkelaar. “Our patent portfolio now provides comprehensive protection for both current capabilities and future innovation pathways. Most importantly, it accelerates our mission to make global trade faster, fairer, and more efficient through intelligent automation.”
With patent protection now covering both foundational payment scoring and broader workflow intelligence, Previse is well-positioned to expand its platform capabilities while maintaining a competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving B2B fintech landscape.
