`
`PORTLAND, OR (January 31, 2024) – PayRange Inc., the inventor and solution provider
`of the leading mobile payment app and hardware for automated retail, and KioSoft
`Technologies, have settled a four-year patent dispute over mobile payment technology
`used to enable consumers to pay self-service retail machines such as laundry and
`vending machines. PayRange, which has an extensive patent portfolio, had alleged
`that KioSoft and its affiliate TechTrex had infringed on numerous PayRange patents.

`
`“While we had challenged the PayRange patents vigorously, the Patent Trial and
`Appeal Board (PTAB) upheld the PayRange patents and, although we disagreed with
`the result, we must now accept that PayRange has valid claims,” stated Charles Lee,
`President of KioSoft. “We respect the technologies that have helped the self-service
`industry thrive; and we look forward to continuing to lead innovation and development
`by providing best-in-class service to our customers with this fully-licensed technology,
`without any futher legal distractions.”
`
`PayRange has developed technology that empowers consumers to pay unconnected
`self-service machines with a smartphone which has provided significant improvements
`in convenience, improved sales for machine owners, and reduced operating costs. The
`earliest patents date back to 2013, making PayRange a pioneer in the space.
`
`“We’re thrilled that we have finally resolved the patent dispute with KioSoft and that
`our technological innovations have been vindicated,” stated Paresh Patel, founder and
`CEO of PayRange. “This agreement is more than a settlement; it’s recognition on the
`importance of intellectual property in fostering game-changing industry innovation,
`and in the American Dream itself in which hard work, innovation, and individual
`property rights matter. We will continue to pursue enforcement of our payment app
`solution patents against all infringers.”
