Woodbridge, New Jersey Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Fusion Capital Management LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its breakthrough confidentiality filter that lets companies harness generative AI without exposing confidential data. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12026452, titled ‘Confidentiality filter for AI content enhancement’, introduces a local exclusion filter that redacts sensitive terms, submits a sanitized draft to remote AI, then restores the hidden content after enhancement.
AI editing boosts speed but can leak secrets. The new filter lets teams tap powerful cloud models while keeping proprietary details locked inside their own network.
The patent describes software that replaces each sensitive word, phrase, or number with a unique marker the AI will ignore. After the model improves style and clarity, the filter swaps markers back for the original language and cleans any grammar slips.
Users tag confidential items as “local” or “global.” The system can also consult industry-specific databases, so finance, health, and legal teams can apply ready-made redaction rules.
Because the tool runs on-premise, firms avoid costly private clouds and stay within strict compliance boundaries, opening generative AI to sectors that were previously locked out.
Fusion Capital Management reports early pilots that cut document turnaround by 40 percent with zero data breaches. Commercial rollout is slated for later this year, positioning the company as a key player in secure AI adoption.
