COVID Safe List Warns of Potential Infringement on Patent-Pending Database Concept Amid Growing Adoption of Negative Test or Vaccine Passports
Apr 13, 2021
LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As acceptance and implementation of COVID-19 passports that indicate either a recent negative test result or proof of vaccination grows around the world, the COVID Safe List is warning that there could be a potential infringement of its concept. The COVID Safe List is a patent-pending database concept that allows customers to voluntarily add themselves to a list that verifies proof of their COVID vaccination, antibody test, and/or negative test status to businesses, such as restaurants, movie theaters, airlines, gyms, and event venues.
Filed in July 2020, COVID Safe List concept creator Keith Marz, a serial inventor who holds multiple patents and appeared on The Shark Tank TV series, was ahead of the game when filing the patent for this concept. Marz accurately foresaw a future in which attempts to return to 'normal life' post-pandemic would require the need for businesses to access a list, registry or passport proving the vaccination, antibody test, and/or negative status of individual customers to ensure the health and safety of other customers, as well as of their communities.
"As reopenings become more widespread, bringing the world back to life from months of lockdowns, the key to making sure that we can safely get back to some form of normality lies in businesses being able to maintain the spread of the virus by verifying the status of their customers. This is something I predicted would happen almost a year ago," said Marz. "It should be known that this COVID passport concept is a pending patent for a passport type registry. We have already sent hundreds of letters putting many on notice of their potential intellectual property infringement."
For companies seeking to implement the COVID Safe List concept without the risk of potential infringement, it is possible to license or purchase the patent. Those interested in pursuing this opportunity are encouraged to contact Marz directly at
