VeriSign has filed a patent for a method of providing domain name system (DNS) eligibility. The method involves obtaining a request for an eligibility proof from a DNS client, validating the request, and providing the eligibility proof to the client. The eligibility proof is related to the registration of a domain name with a DNS registry. The method also includes applying a promotion credit to the client’s account and confirming the promotion credit. Additionally, VeriSign has filed a claim for a computer-implemented method for managing coupon redemption. The method involves receiving a coupon request from a registrar, validating the request, sending a coupon to the registrar, receiving the coupon and a transaction identifier, validating them, applying a promotion credit to the registrar’s account, and sending a result indicating the coupon redemption.

The patent is filed for a method of managing coupon redemption
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230275870A1) describes a computer-implemented method for managing coupon redemption. The method involves a coupon promotion service receiving a coupon request from a registrar associated with a promotion. The coupon promotion service then validates the coupon request and sends a coupon to the registrar for redemption. Upon receiving the coupon and a transaction identifier from the registrar, the coupon promotion service validates both the coupon and the transaction identifier. Subsequently, the coupon promotion service applies a promotion credit to the registrar's account and sends a result indicating the coupon redemption to the registrar.
The patent also outlines various aspects of the method. For instance, validating the coupon request involves identifying a fixed number of coupons defined for the registrar. Validating the coupon and the transaction identifier includes verifying coupon settings, the existence of the transaction identifier, and matching information associated with the transaction identifier and the promotion. The coupon settings may include registrars associated with the coupon, a top-level domain (TLD) associated with the coupon, and an expiry date for the coupon.
Additionally, the patent describes the use of a unique server transaction identifier generated by a domain registry as the transaction identifier. The coupon promotion service is composed of a coupon generation service and a coupon redemption service. The result sent to the registrar may include a result code, the amount of promotion credit applied, the date of credit application, or the time of credit application.
The patent also covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the method and a computer system comprising at least one processor and memory. The computer system executes instructions to receive a coupon request, validate it, send a coupon, receive the coupon and transaction identifier, validate them, apply a promotion credit, and send a result to the registrar.
In summary, the patent presents a computer-implemented method for managing coupon redemption, involving a coupon promotion service receiving and validating coupon requests, generating and sending coupons, validating coupons and transaction identifiers, applying promotion credits, and sending redemption results to registrars. The method includes various validation steps, utilizes a unique transaction identifier, and encompasses a coupon generation and redemption service.
