MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517044353 A) filed by Absolute Software Corporation, Vancouver, Canada, on May 7, for 'phased unenrollment of devices from service.'
Inventor(s) include Dunn, Stephen David; Laforce, Marcel; and Wyatt, Christy May.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Fleets of mobile or desktop electronic devices are sometimes wrongly unenrolled from a security and management service. They must then be reenrolled individually, from the devices themselves. To overcome this, a calling agent in each device is only partially removed or disabled upon receipt of the unenrollment instruction. The remaining portion of the calling agent is removed after a cool-off period. During the cool-off period, a persistent component of the calling agent that remains active contacts a monitoring center to check whether there is a cancellation of the unenroll instruction. If there is, the devices can be reenrolled from the monitoring center. This persistent component is designed to survive device reimaging and reinstantiates itself in such an event. This tether provides the ability to reverse unintentional device unenrollment."
The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 18, 2023, under International application No.PCT/CA2023/051379.
