SAP had one patents in blockchain during Q2 2024. SAP SE has developed a system using distributed ledger technology like blockchain to manage interaction flows between different systems. The system creates immutable ledger entries for each interaction, serving as a single source of truth for cross-system communication verification and analytical querying. This eliminates the need for a central authority in verifying cross-system communications. GlobalData’s report on SAP gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy.

Application: Communications interface between separate systems referencing distributed ledger (Patent ID: US20240111756A1)
The patent filed by SAP SE describes a method that utilizes distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain, to handle interaction flows between separate systems. The first system initiates an interaction flow, creates ledger entries based on timestamps and encryption keys, and communicates this flow to a second system. The second system then creates additional ledger entries based on the received information, allowing for verification of cross-system communications without the need for a central authority.
The method involves generating ledger entries for each process step of the interaction flow, communicating content across system boundaries through a blockchain, and utilizing unique timestamps and keys for each entry. The blockchain acts as a distributed storage platform, ensuring the immutability and security of the stored interaction flows. The patent also covers computer-readable storage mediums and computer systems configured to perform the described method, emphasizing the use of blockchain technology for secure and transparent cross-system communication.
