“The USPTO's acceptance of patent protection for Ninety Eight’s invention is a very optimistic signal for the development of Web3 technology and the blockchain community,” said Yen Pham, trademark head and senior IP attorney at S&O IP in Ho Chi Minh City. “A technical solution for accessing Web3 applications from popular platforms such as Google, Facebook and X would help tackle the above-mentioned issues as it would greatly simplify the process of accessing these applications, thereby making these more familiar and accessible to general internet users. This would increase the potential of Web3 applications in fields such as finance, supply chain, healthcare, etc., promoting its development and creating more access opportunities for users.” 

She added that the patent also affirms the serious investment of Vietnamese startups in the blockchain technology industry. “It contributes to confirming Ninety Eight's desire to reach a global scale and serves as a motivation for other Vietnamese technology startups to continue to develop and succeed like Ninety Eight,” said Pham.
