SalesCloser Granted Third U.S. Patent, Protecting In-Conversation AI Appointment Booking

Third U.S. patent grant extends SalesCloser’s intellectual property portfolio around the execution infrastructure that makes autonomous AI sales agents work reliably at scale.

Company also announces digital marketing and investor awareness campaign

Vancouver, BC, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. (“SalesCloser” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAI) (OTCQB: SCTLF) (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. US12694346B1, for its “Memory Management System for Appointment Scheduling” technology, further to the Notice of Allowance previously announced on July 15, 2026. The patent protects the capability that allows SalesCloser’s AI sales agents to book, confirm, and reschedule appointments directly within a live conversation, turning an in-the-moment exchange into a committed meeting without handing the prospect off or breaking the flow of dialogue.

This patent is SalesCloser’s third granted U.S. patent and continues the Company’s strategy of protecting the execution infrastructure that allows autonomous AI sales agents to operate reliably at scale in production environments. By integrating directly with real-time calendar systems, the technology lets an AI agent check live availability, propose times, confirm a booking, and handle rescheduling in the natural course of a voice or video conversation, eliminating the back-and-forth coordination that normally stalls deals between interest and a confirmed meeting. The technology is already live in the SalesCloser platform.

“Holding the full context of a conversation, reaching into a live calendar, and locking in a time is a difficult technical problem to solve reliably,” said Ali Tajskandar, CEO of SalesCloser. “The Notice of Allowance told us the claims would issue; this grant puts that engineering behind enforceable U.S. patent protection. Booking the meeting is the step where a good conversation actually becomes a confirmed meeting, which is where measurable conversion happens for our customers.”

Appointment scheduling is an important bottleneck across sales and service workflows. By automating the booking step inside the conversation itself, SalesCloser is designed to shorten the lead-to-meeting cycle, reduce lost opportunities, and support higher conversion. The capability has broad applicability across industries, including sales, healthcare, and professional services, where securing the appointment is itself a primary business outcome.

With this grant, SalesCloser now holds three granted U.S. patents within its growing intellectual property portfolio. This is the Company’s third U.S. patent grant announced in approximately 100 days, following U.S. Patent No. US12526253B1 and U.S. Patent No. US12574461B1. The portfolio also includes additional U.S. patent applications covering fundamental challenges in conversational AI - from real-time conversational state management and autonomous human escalation to self-testing systems and advanced telephony features. Consistent with the Company’s IP strategy, each application addresses a specific technical problem that SalesCloser’s engineering team solved while building a platform capable of handling thousands of simultaneous customer conversations across voice, video, and digital channels. By deliberately protecting execution infrastructure rather than abstract concepts, the Company aims to build practical barriers to entry around the systems required to make autonomous AI sales agents work reliably in production environments.

Engagement of Investor Relations Services Provider

The Company also announced that it has engaged Senergy Communications Capital Inc. ("Senergy") under a digital marketing services agreement effective August 12, 2026 (the "Marketing Agreement").

Over an initial two-month term, Senergy will design and execute a digital marketing and investor awareness campaign directed at the North American market, including advertising, social media and search-based initiatives, with regular performance reporting to the Company - extending the reach of SalesCloser's platform, commercial traction and expanding patent portfolio to investors across Canada, the United States, and Europe.
