## Patent Family Details

### US Patent No. 10,192,073 B2 (Parent Patent)
- Title: System and Method for Interaction Object Reconciliation in a Public Ledger Blockchain Environment
- Filed: November 17, 2017
- Priority Date: November 19, 2016
- Granted: January 29, 2019
- Application No.: 15/816,784
- Claims: 8 total (2 independent system and method claims, 6 dependent claims)
- Assignee: Rock Innovation LLC (recorded in USPTO assignment database)

Independent Claim 1 (System): A system for block reconciliation comprising a network-connected block reconciliation computer with a memory and processor, programmable instructions to reconcile blocks in a blockchain environment, connections to connected devices and blockchains, an object compiler that receives criteria from a first connected device, retrieves blocks corresponding to preconfigured interaction objects, analyzes interaction objects for associated required supplemental objects, requests supplemental blocks, handles replacement and addendum supplemental object types, receives preconfigured rules from blockchains, creates compilation objects, and stores compilation objects on blockchains.

Independent Claim 5 (Method): A method for block reconciliation comprising receiving criteria from connected devices, receiving blocks from blockchains based on criteria, analyzing interaction objects for associated supplemental objects, requesting supplemental blocks, handling replacement and addendum types, receiving preconfigured rules, creating compilation objects, and storing compilation objects on blockchains.

### US Patent No. 10,943,029 B2 (First Continuation)
- Title: System and Method for Interaction Object Reconciliation in a Public Ledger Blockchain Environment
- Filed: January 18, 2019
- Priority Date: November 19, 2016
- Granted: March 9, 2021
- Application No.: 16/253,135
- Claims: 8 total (2 independent system and method claims, 6 dependent claims)
- Assignee: Rock Innovation LLC

Independent Claim 1 (System): A system for block reconciliation comprising a network-connected block reconciliation computer with processor-executed programmable instructions that receive connections from connected devices, establish connections to blockchains, receive criteria, retrieve blocks corresponding to preconfigured interaction objects, analyze for associated supplemental objects, request supplemental blocks, receive preconfigured rules, and create compilation objects stored on blockchains.

Independent Claim 5 (Method): A computer-implemented method for block reconciliation comprising receiving criteria, receiving blocks from blockchains, analyzing interaction objects for supplemental objects, requesting supplemental blocks, receiving preconfigured rules, creating compilation objects, and storing on blockchains.

### US Patent No. 11,720,711 B2 (Second Continuation)
- Title: System and Method for Interaction Object Reconciliation in a Public Ledger Blockchain Environment
- Filed: February 24, 2021
- Priority Date: November 19, 2016
- Granted: August 8, 2023
- Application No.: 17/189,098
- Claims: 12 total (2 independent system and method claims, 10 dependent claims)
- Assignee: Rock Innovation LLC

Independent Claim 1 (System): A system for block management comprising a network-connected block management computer with processor-executed programmable instructions that establish connections to blockchains, receive supplemental blocks corresponding to preconfigured interaction objects, receive preconfigured rules, and create compilation objects stored on blockchains.

Independent Claim 5 (Method): A computer-implemented method for block management comprising receiving blocks from blockchains, requesting supplemental blocks corresponding to interaction objects, receiving preconfigured rules, creating compilation objects, and storing on blockchains.

Additional claims (9-12) specify that interaction objects correspond to user objects, company objects, and device objects involved in interactions, with criteria-based analysis of interaction object associations.

## Technical Scope and Claim Mapping
The patent family covers the following technical elements:
1. Block reconciliation computer architecture (hardware/software system claims)
2. Object compiler for processing blockchain data
3. Multi-blockchain connectivity and data retrieval
4. Criteria-based block selection from connected devices
5. Interaction object framework (user, company, device objects)
6. Supplemental object identification and retrieval
7. Replacement supplemental objects (overwriting interaction object properties)
8. Addendum supplemental objects (adding properties to interaction objects)
9. Preconfigured rule application from blockchain-stored rules
10. Compilation object creation and blockchain storage
11. Report generation from compilation objects
12. API access to compilation objects for connected devices
13. External data source integration for additional rules

## Prosecution History
Each patent in the family was examined by the USPTO and allowed without any claims being cancelled or significantly narrowed during prosecution. The examiner conducted prior art searches and determined that the claimed inventions were novel and non-obvious over the existing art. The progression from parent to continuations demonstrates a deliberate strategy to secure broad and overlapping coverage of the reconciliation technology.
