DFD Partners on Track to Receive Utility Patent and Offer Exclusive Asset Management Software Systems and Methods

HOUSTON, November 11, 2022 – DFD Partners, an emerging fintech platform that uses data and AI to match asset managers to financial advisors, has filed a utility patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). 

The utility patent is for software systems and methods to automatically correlate subject matter items and provider data across multiple platforms. DFD Partners created the software system to provide asset managers access to real time data and subject matter, providing them with more clarity on who they should be targeting and helping them raise higher AUM. 

For example, an advisor looking up private equity or credit can use DFD’s platform to access information in real time, cross reference from other data providers and then match asset managers to financial advisors with a product need. It shortens the sales cycle for asset managers while helping to increase their AUM.

DFD Partners’ application has been placed in a group art unit (a working unit of patent examiners) with a 73% patent grant rate. Due to the application being considered an AI patent instead of a business patent, DFD Partners will have a much higher probability of approval. 

DFD Partners will be the only asset management company to provide this software system and its methods. This patent is further evidence of how DFD Partners is transforming the industry, having already proved their concept with $100 million raised and $70 billion in aggregate platform AUM.
