United States Deployment Analysis

Purpose of United States Deployment Analysis

This analysis examines publicly disclosed Woosmap deployments and integration architectures for evidence of combined functionality corresponding with the limitations of the granted claims of US12039568B2.

The independent-claim analysis identifies multiple areas of technical correspondence within Woosmap’s publicly disclosed technology. This section examines whether publicly disclosed customer deployments and integration architectures provide additional evidence concerning the combined operation of those functions.

Particular attention is given to implementations capable of connecting location and historical user context with customer information, targeting logic, temporal conditions and automated consumer communications.

U.S. deployment evidence — not yet established

U.S. evidence pass

Evidence of United States implementation — source record

A dedicated search of the public record was carried out for United States deployments of Woosmap. The findings are recorded below in full, including the categories that returned nothing, so that the basis of the current position is auditable and can be re-run as the record changes.

Scope of the search and results returned

Woosmap customer stories

The published customer-story index and each individual success story.

Every named customer is identified with a non-United States market, or the page states no market at all. No United States customer story exists in the index.

NO EVIDENCE FOUND

Press and trade coverage

Wire services and geospatial trade press for Woosmap together with United States, North America or a United States retailer.

No article identifying a United States deployment was found.

NO EVIDENCE FOUND

Corporate footprint

Woosmap and Web Geo Services corporate, legal and privacy pages, and acquisition coverage.

A French SAS with a Paris registered address; no United States entity, office or United States-based staff identified.

EVIDENCE FOUND

United States commercial channels

AWS Marketplace and comparable cloud marketplaces.

An AWS Marketplace listing exists, establishing availability to United States purchasers but naming no purchaser.

EVIDENCE FOUND

Engagement-platform partner directories

Salesforce AppExchange, Braze Alloys, Batch partners, Airship partner listings via general search.

Woosmap's own integration documentation for all four platforms is established, and Batch and Airship publish their own descriptions. No partner-directory entry naming a United States customer was surfaced. These directories were not each crawled page by page.

PARTIAL — REQUIRES DIRECT SEARCH

Application SDK disclosure

SDK-detection and application-privacy sources for com.webgeoservices packages and WoosmapGeofencing, and privacy policies naming Woosmap.

One third-party application repository was identified, with a Canadian developer. No United States-published application was found disclosing the SDK. Detection services were queried through general search rather than their own interfaces.

PARTIAL — REQUIRES DIRECT SEARCH

United States conference material and customer quotes

Conference programmes, talks and customer quotations referencing United States use.

None identified.

NO EVIDENCE FOUND

United States footprint records

Operating entity and place of establishment

DIRECT PUBLIC EVIDENCEU.S. STATUS NOT YET ESTABLISHED

Finding

The entity behind Woosmap is Web Geo Services SAS, registered at 18 Rue de Londres, 75009 Paris, RCS Paris 514 073 998. Corporate coverage of the 2021 majority-stake acquisition describes the business as a French API platform publisher.

Matters established

That the supplier of the software is a French company, and that no United States entity or office is identified in its own published corporate material.

Matters not established

Nothing about where the software executes. Claim 19 is directed to the medium carrying the instructions, not to the supplier's place of establishment; an application distributed to a United States device executes there irrespective of the supplier's domicile.

Claim 19 relevance

Relevant to the Claim 10 performing-entity question and to territorial analysis by counsel; it does not resolve any Claim 19 limitation.

Public evidence — source record

Stated market positioning

STRONG PUBLIC INDICATIONU.S. STATUS NOT YET ESTABLISHED

Finding

Woosmap's own homepage describes its APIs as trusted by retail and digital-native teams across the United Kingdom and Europe. The company page names a client roster; no client named there is identified as a United States deployment. Separately, Woosmap's chief executive has been quoted describing expansion of the offering across Europe and North America.

Matters established

That Woosmap itself markets to the United Kingdom and Europe, and that North American activity is described in prospective terms.

Matters not established

That no United States use exists. Market positioning is not a deployment record, and absence from marketing material is not proof of absence in fact.

Claim 19 relevance

No Claim 19 limitation is addressed.

Public evidence — source record

Availability to United States purchasers

DIRECT PUBLIC EVIDENCETECHNICAL INTEGRATION AVAILABLE FOR U.S. DEPLOYMENT

Finding

The Woosmap Location Intelligence Platform is listed for purchase and deployment on AWS Marketplace, a United States-operated commercial marketplace.

Matters established

That the platform is commercially available to United States buyers through a United States channel, with a listed review history.

Matters not established

Any actual United States purchase, deployment or use. The listing names no customer.

Claim 19 relevance

Supports availability of the instructions to United States implementers, which is a precondition to 19A rather than evidence of it.

Public evidence — source record

Public distribution of the executable instructions

DIRECT PUBLIC EVIDENCETECHNICAL INTEGRATION AVAILABLE FOR U.S. DEPLOYMENT

Finding

The Geofencing SDK is published as open-source repositories and as installable Android and iOS packages, obtainable by any developer in any territory.

Matters established

That the executable instructions on which the Claim 19 analysis rests are unrestricted in distribution and can be incorporated into an application distributed in the United States.

Matters not established

That any United States application has incorporated them. No adopter is identified in the repositories.

Claim 19 relevance

Directly relevant to 19A: the medium and the instructions are publicly identified and obtainable. The remaining question is which distributed application carries them.

Public evidence — source record

Identified third-party application embedding the SDK

STRONG PUBLIC INDICATIONU.S. STATUS NOT YET ESTABLISHED

Finding

A third-party iOS application repository, StrideiOS, describes itself as powered by the Woosmap Geofencing SDK for automatic visit detection and geofence alerts. The repository owner's stated location is Toronto, Canada.

Matters established

That the Geofencing SDK is in fact incorporated into applications built outside Woosmap's own customer roster, and that visit detection and geofence alerting are the functions adopters use it for.

Matters not established

Any United States use. The developer is stated to be in Canada, no store distribution is shown, and the project appears to be an independent one rather than a commercial deployment.

Claim 19 relevance

Corroborates 19A, 19B and 19D as the functions adopters implement, in a deployment that is not a Woosmap-published case study.

Public evidence — source record

NO SUFFICIENT PUBLIC U.S. DEPLOYMENT EVIDENCE IDENTIFIED AT THIS STAGE

Where the next pass should look

  • Direct, page-by-page search of the Salesforce AppExchange, Braze Alloys, Batch and Airship partner directories for a United States customer reference against the Woosmap connector.
  • Direct queries to application SDK-detection services for com.webgeoservices and WoosmapGeofencing, restricted to applications published on the United States storefronts.
  • Review of United States application privacy disclosures and third-party-SDK schedules for the retailers and quick-service chains most likely to operate an arrival-detection workflow.
  • United States corporate registry and trademark searches for Web Geo Services and Woosmap.
  • Full retrieval of the Woosmap client roster page to confirm whether any listed brand operates the implementation in the United States.
