Good find. So the question is why hasn’t Dennis ever updated the assignment with USPTO, it’s been 10 years? Is it because UNB has a lien on the patent as collateral for the debenture?
Per your request below, we can only confirm what has been made public and can therefore only confirm that certain patents were assigned by UNB to DarkPulse as reported in the SEC filings.
It is our general understanding that certain filings are normally required in order to update ownership records at the patent office, and that the assignee is the one that normally takes care of such filings.
Other questions should be taken up directly with DarkPulse.

Shane
