U.S. Patent 11095456 was awarded to AS America, Inc. on August 17, 2021 and is entitled “Distributed tiered data exchanges within a blockchain network.” The first named inventor is Manu Kurian of Dallas, TX. The abstract contains an overview of the patent disclosure:

Distributed tiered data exchanges within a distributed trust/blockchain network are provided for. A continual and ongoing data asset transfer being conducted via a distributed ledger of the distributed trust/blockchain network is leveraged for the purpose of establishing and conducting other continuous and ongoing data asset transfers using the same distributed ledger of the distributed trust/blockchain network. The tiered nature of the asset transfers/distributions means that one distributed ledger can be established and used to conduct multiple different continuous and ongoing data assets transfers between the initial data asset transfer entities and/or other entities. As such, through the use of one distributed ledger of a distributed trust/blockchain network, a single data asset request made by a first entity (i.e., data asset transferee) may be used to make multiple different data asset distributions/transfers to one or many different entities.
