Patent‑backed accountability systems.

MVG is built around a growing portfolio of AI safety and accountability filings (20+ submitted / in progress). One flagship family (NOVACOV) is fully allowed and ready to publish. We license and partner with platform owners who need provable controls — not trust-based assurances.

No license offer by publication

Public drafts may be distributed under a text license (e.g., CC BY 4.0), but patent rights are not licensed by these publications. Licensing requires a separate written agreement.

NOVACOV — representative themes (public‑safe)

NOVACOV targets a new security boundary: model output becomes action. The claim set is built around fail‑closed verify‑to‑activation gating with auditable evidence.

Verify‑to‑Activation Freshness

Append‑only anchoring + freshness checks

Deployment logic is committed and anchored to an append‑only verifiable log with signed heads. At runtime the system verifies inclusion under a freshness policy and verifies append‑only evolution on head advance.

Permit‑before‑Action Audience‑bound

Short‑lived permits + immutable receipts

On PASS, mint a scoped, expiring permit bound to an audience (agent/tenant/mission) and record a receipt in an immutable ledger. Subsequent actions require a valid, unexpired, unrevoked permit identifier.

Fail‑closedDisposition codes

HOLD / QUARANTINE / DENY / ESCALATE

Structured failure semantics help procurement and auditors score behavior under missing/stale/unverifiable prerequisites.

Non‑bypassable hooksControl points

Driver / firmware / hypervisor

Enforcement is claimed at non‑bypassable chokepoints: kernel‑mode driver paths, device firmware microcode, or hypervisor intercepts.

Licensing gateQuorum

Tier + m‑of‑n authorization

Permit minting can require a license tier check and m‑of‑n quorum signatures for designated tiers.

Claims and detailed filings (NDA)

We keep detailed claim sets and unpublished filings off the public site. For licensing diligence or technical review, we share relevant materials under NDA with qualified partners.
