Seven Stars Cloud Provides Updates On Patent Filings, SuperApp, VPaaS And TPaaS

SuperApp:  The Seven Stars Cloud SuperApp, which will be compatible with iOS and Android, will launch in app stores, Q4 2017.  The SuperApp, is a next generation, intelligent recommendation app that incorporates SSC's proprietary platforms and content along with Wechat applets support.  SuperApp, once launched, will ultimately provide multi-functional capabilities including e-commerce and online shopping, video on demand, video/audio/text chatting and social networking, all under one roof.

VPaaS & TPaaS:  The Company has separated its PaaS into two separate platforms.  VPaaS will continue to exist in its current form except that all physical commodity-based trading and exchange functionality from its VPaaS (Visual Platform as a Service) has been carved out and will now be offered under TPaaS (Transactional Platform as a Service).  TPaaS will provide the same functionality that once resided under VPaaS including matching buyers and sellers, removing additional layers of middlemen, resolving the issues of information and credit asymmetry and providing integrated commodity trading settlement and clearance.

In addition, the Company also launched a new informational video for VPaaS, which can be found at: http://corporate.sevenstarscloud.com/media

Corporate Website:  The Company will launch its new updated corporate website in October.  The website build is being led by Ogilvy Public Relations.

Patent Application:  In an effort to protect its proprietary PaaS systems including VPaaS and TPaaS, the Company is establishing an e-commerce focused technology patent portfolio.  For example, the first invention patent was filed with SIPO (State Intellectual Property Office ofChina) onSeptember 13, 2017.  The patent, which will use collaboration technology and is a cornerstone of VPaaS, is entitled "Video and Screen-Sharing Method, Device and System as Applied to E-Commerce" and is currently patent pending.  This patent is the  first of three patents being filed, with the remaining two patents to cover 3D product display and e-commerce blockchain transactions.  The Company is filing its patents globally by taking advantage ofChina being a part of the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), an international patent law treaty.  It provides a unified procedure for filing patent applications to protect inventions in each of its 152 contracting states by filing one international patent application under the PCT.
