NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NatGold Digital Ltd. (“NatGold” or the “Company”) today announced it has strengthened its intellectual property strategy by filing seven full (non-provisional) patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The applications, submitted by the Company’s counsel, Lowenstein Sandler LLP, follow NatGold’s 2025 provisional patent filings underpinning these seven applications.
This milestone moves NatGold’s patent portfolio beyond early-stage priority filings and into full USPTO examination, strengthening its ability to protect the proprietary methods and system-level architecture that underpin its digital mining ecosystem and support the long-term defensibility of the Company’s model.
Collectively, the seven full applications cover the end-to-end tokenization of in-ground gold resources confirmed through verified technical reports, a sustainability and integrity credit framework, and valuation methodologies for unmined assets designated for tokenization, alongside compliance and risk controls designed for regulated markets (including KYC/AML) and interoperability pathways for national digital currency frameworks, including Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
In addition, the Company has filed further provisional patent applications as part of its ongoing IP strategy, which it expects to progress to full filings in due course.
“These filings are intended to safeguard the methods and system design that connect gold resources within Mother Nature’s Vault to a compliance-ready token ecosystem,” said Andrés Fernández, CEO. “That protection allows us to build with confidence, partner selectively, and pursue future licensing opportunities without surrendering control of our core IP. For those who want a clearer understanding of how the model works and why these components matter, our educational YouTube video series walks through the concepts in a practical, accessible way.”
With the full applications now filed, the filings will move through the USPTO review and examination process; full patent rights are obtained when patents are granted and issued, subject to the final claims approved by the USPTO.
NatGold believes a robust, full-ready patent portfolio is a foundational element of the Company’s strategy — supporting ecosystem integrity, strengthening competitive positioning, and reinforcing stakeholder confidence as real-world asset (“RWA”) applications continue to evolve.

The granting of any patents as a result of the Company’s provisional patent applications with the USPTO, the functionality of the Company’s intellectual property portfolio, as well as the Baseline Intrinsic Value of gold, NatGold valuation calculations, sustainable investment and non-dilutive investment premiums, the minting of NatGold Tokens, NatGold’s future value, outlook, growth potential, pending patents, and our plans or intentions regarding a future public listing (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) discusses future expectations, contains projections of future operations or financial condition, or states other forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the statements regarding the foregoing information. A variety of risks, uncertainties, and events may cause actual results related to NatGold to differ materially from the expectations and projections described by NatGold in these forward-looking statements.

Furthermore, any reference to “certification” concerning a mineral resource does not imply compliance with JORC Code, NI 43-101, or S-K 1300 standards but instead refers to the resource’s certification under NatGold’s tokenization eligibility requirements and subsequent certification as Certified NatGold Resources.
