ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,654,374, issued on June 16, was assigned to Digimarc Corp. (Beaverton, Ore.).

"Neural network stylization of watermark signals" was invented by Tomas Filler (Beaverton, Ore.), Nicholas Anderson (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Ajith M Kamath (Beaverton, Ore.).
