VANCOUVER, Feb. 27, 2018 /CNW/ – Good Life Networks Inc. (“GLN”, or the “Company”), (TSX-V: GOOD), a Vancouver-based programmatic advertising technology company is pleased to announce that the US Patent Office (“USPO”) has granted patent pending for its accounts receivable (“AR”) blockchain application.
GLN’s blockchain application is designed to accelerate the account receivable pay cycle for publishers (websites). Whereas programmatic advertising transactions can be completed in seconds, accounts receivables are typically paid on 90-day and 180-day cycles, tying up billions of dollars of working capital across the digital publishing industry. GLN’s AR blockchain solution helps to ensure prompt payments to publishers without requiring third-party intermediaries such as factoring agents. This blockchain application has the potential to transform the entire AR ecosystem within the digital advertising industry and may have many beneficial applications to other sectors with mismatched AR cycles.
“This is part of our aggressive patent strategy and we are pleased that we have been granted our second patent pending from the USPO.” said CEO Jesse Dylan.
The Company also announces that a total of 5,525,000 incentive stock options have been granted to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan. The options are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.25 per share.
The GLN Story
Good Life Networks technology allows advertisers to reach their target audience quicker and more cost effectively.
“With the two patents pending, GLN is looking to exploit the paradigm created through the commercialization of blockchain technology to securitize the revenue from AR available in the advertising industry.”
This year, Magna, the research arm of media buying firm IPG Mediabrands expects digital ad spending to grow to $237 billion, outpacing the Television ad spend by 50 Billion dollars, thanks in part to one-off events such as the Olympics and the U.S. mid-term elections.
GLN recently closed a $9.2 million subscription financing prior to closing its qualifying transaction and trades on the TSX-V under the stock symbol GOOD.
