MADRID, Nov. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The European Union authorities have granted Lleida.net (BME: LLN) (EPA: ALLLN) (OTCQX: LLEIF)  a new patent for its EIDAS-certified contracting method.

This patent, the 217th obtained by the company for its inventions in the registered electronic signature, notification, and contracting industry, could represent the company's additional revenues in the SaaS segment estimated at six million euros.

In information sent to the market today, the company described the award as "the first patented method acting under the EIDAS umbrella, which requires identification by the electronic signature of the signing parties to be indubitable in a court of law."

We anticipate that this new patent, especially in the EIDAS framework, will consolidate our position in the Eurozone and reinforce our leadership in the European market," explained Sisco Sapena, CEO of the company he founded in 1995.

This brings to 217 the number of patents granted to Lleida.net worldwide on registered certification, notification, and online contracting methods since the company started trading on the stock market.
