Expected Third Patent Extends SalesCloser’s Growing IP Portfolio to the Conversion-Critical Step of Booking Meetings Inside Live Conversations

PatentableExecutionInfrastructureSetsSalesCloserApartBeyond the AI Model Layer

Vancouver, BC, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. (“SalesCloser” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAI) (OTCQB: SCTLF) (FSE: MJ5), a pioneer in autonomous AI sales technology, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued a Notice of Allowance for U.S. Patent Application No. 19/311,518, titled “Memory Management System for Appointment Scheduling”. A Notice of Allowance indicates that the USPTO has determined that the allowed claims are patentable, subject to completion of customary administrative procedures before issuance. The Company’s patent counsel expects the patent to issue in the coming months. The allowed claims cover the capability that allows SalesCloser’s AI sales agents to book, confirm, and reschedule appointments directly within a live conversation, turning an in-the-moment exchange into a committed meeting without handing the prospect off or breaking the flow of dialogue.

This patent is expected to become SalesCloser’s third granted U.S. patent upon issuance and continues the Company’s strategy of protecting the execution infrastructure that allows autonomous AI sales agents to operate reliably at scale in production environments. By integrating directly with real-time calendar systems, the technology lets an AI agent check live availability, propose times, confirm a booking, and handle rescheduling in the natural course of a voice or video conversation, eliminating the back-and-forth coordination that normally stalls deals between interest and a confirmed meeting. The technology is already live in the SalesCloser platform.

“Booking the meeting is the moment intent becomes pipeline, and it’s also where deals quietly fall apart, lost to scheduling friction, time-zone confusion, and follow-up that never happens,” said Ali Tajskandar, CEO of SalesCloser. “Getting an AI agent to hold the full context of a conversation, reach into a live calendar, and lock in a time without dropping the thread is an execution-layer problem, not a demo trick. The allowed claims cover the engineering that closes the gap between a good conversation and a confirmed meeting, which is where measurable conversion happens for our customers.”

Appointment scheduling is a critical bottleneck across sales and service workflows, and one with direct revenue consequences: every lead that has to be re-engaged later is a lead that can go cold. By automating the booking step inside the conversation itself, SalesCloser is designed to shorten the lead-to-meeting cycle, reduce lost opportunities, and support higher conversion. The capability has broad applicability across industries, including sales, healthcare, and professional services, where securing the appointment is itself a primary business outcome.

Upon issuance, SalesCloser is expected to hold three granted U.S. patents within its growing intellectual property portfolio, which includes additional U.S. patent applications covering fundamental challenges in conversational AI, from real-time conversational state management and autonomous human escalation to self-testing systems and advanced telephony features. Consistent with the Company’s IP strategy, each application addresses a specific technical problem that SalesCloser’s engineering team solved while building a platform capable of handling thousands of simultaneous customer conversations across voice, video, and digital channels. By deliberately protecting execution infrastructure rather than abstract concepts, the Company aims to build practical barriers to entry around the systems required to make autonomous AI sales agents work reliably in production environments.
