Vancouver, BC, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. (“SalesCloser” 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”) has granted the Company U.S. Patent No. US12526253B1 for its “System and Method for Graph-Based Conversational-Flow Editing” technology. The patent, which protects the Company’s foundational approach to democratizing AI agent creation, represents formal recognition of SalesCloser’s unique innovation in making sophisticated conversational AI accessible to non-technical business users.
The granted patent covers technology that is already fully deployed and generating revenue 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 enables users to interact naturally with an embedded AI assistant that translates their business requirements into sophisticated conversational agents in real time, complete with visual workflow rendering, context-aware generation from uploaded documents, and built-in testing and simulation capabilities.
“This patent grant is a significant validation of the innovation at the heart of our platform,” said Ali Tajskandar, CEO of SalesCloser Technologies. “We recognized early on that the real barrier to AI adoption was not the underlying technology – it was 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 genuinely novel and non-obvious technology.”
This granted patent is the first of multiple 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 deliberately 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 capable of handling thousands of simultaneous customer conversations with natural language fluency and seamless handoff capabilities. This approach creates practical barriers to entry for competitors, as the patents protect not just ideas but the actual systems required to make conversational AI work reliably in production environments.
