Vancouver, BC, May 1, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. (“Sales poet‘or the’Company” (TSXV: SCAI) (FSE: MJ5), a pioneer in autonomous AI sales technology, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO“), the company has been granted U.S. Patent No. US12526253B1 for its “System and Method for Graph-Based Conversational-Flow Editing” technology. The patent, which protects the company’s fundamental approach to democratizing the creation of AI agents, represents the formal recognition of SalesCloser’s unique innovation in making advanced conversational AI accessible to non-technical business users.
The granted patent covers technology already fully deployed and monetized within the SalesCloser platform, protecting a core differentiator that allows sales teams to design and manage AI-powered sales workflows through an intuitive, conversational interface. Unlike traditional approaches that require coding expertise or complex technical knowledge, SalesCloser’s patented system allows users to interact naturally with a built-in AI assistant that translates their business requirements in real-time into advanced conversational agents, complete with visual workflow display, context-aware generation of uploaded documents, and built-in testing and simulation capabilities.
“This patent grant is an important validation of the innovation at the core of our platform,” said Ali Tajskandar, CEO of SalesCloser Technologies. “We realized early on that the real barrier to AI adoption was not the underlying technology, but accessibility. We built a system that puts the power of AI directly in the hands of sales professionals. This patent protects that core innovation and recognizes that our approach represents a truly new and non-obvious technology.”
This granted patent is the first of several patent applications in SalesCloser’s growing intellectual property portfolio, which currently includes nine U.S. patent applications covering fundamental challenges in conversational AI – from real-time state management and autonomous human escalation to self-testing systems and advanced telephony features. The company’s IP strategy consciously focuses on protecting execution infrastructure rather than abstract concepts, with each patent addressing specific technical problems that SalesCloser’s engineering team solved while building a platform that can handle thousands of simultaneous customer conversations with fluid natural language and seamless transfer capabilities. This approach creates practical barriers to entry for competitors, because the patents protect not only ideas, but also the actual systems needed to make conversational AI work reliably in production environments.
