DatChat Expands Global IP Footprint with New Canadian Patent as Myseum Prepares for Launch

DatChat, the secure messaging and social media company, has been granted Canadian Patent No. 3,149,004 for its content transformation technology—a move that strengthens its global IP portfolio ahead of the upcoming worldwide release of Myseum, the company’s flagship platform for private digital media sharing.

Already patented in the U.S. and with approvals incoming from Mexico and Europe, the technology—officially titled “Systems And Methods Of Transforming Electronic Content”—is central to Myseum’s privacy-first approach to media sharing and content longevity.

“This patent supports our broader vision as we prepare to launch Myseum globally this fall,” said Darin Myman, CEO of DatChat. “We’re bringing powerful privacy features and a new user experience that makes photo and video sharing secure, permanent, and even fun.”

Building a Legacy of Privacy

DatChat’s strategy hinges on owning the underlying tech behind its privacy-centric platforms. The new patent covers core functionality that enables transformation and secure control of electronic content—essentially allowing users to manipulate, encrypt, or expire media even after it’s shared.

The Myseum platform, available on iOS and Android (with desktop coming soon), is positioned as a “Timeless Digital Shoebox” that offers users:

• 50 GB of free storage

• Encrypted galleries and private collections

• Limited-access sharing

• Customizable feeds and family digital libraries

In a market dominated by short-term, ad-driven social media, Myseum introduces a more permanent, legacy-minded experience—a place where families and communities can archive and revisit digital memories securely and on their own terms.

Why This Patent Matters

The Canadian patent follows a string of international filings and marks DatChat’s 17th issued patent, expanding its IP stronghold across major markets. With another Notice of Allowance recently received from both the Mexican and European Patent Offices, the company is cementing its competitive moat as it transitions from traditional secure messaging to a multi-tiered, privacy-centric social ecosystem.

The company’s existing DatChat Messenger already lets users:

• Control message lifespan before or after sending

• Prevent screenshots

• Delete conversations remotely

• Hide encrypted content in plain sight

These features are now being extended—and evolved—within the Myseum platform.

While the privacy tech market is often defined by arms races between surveillance tools and protective countermeasures, DatChat is leaning into a different narrative: one centered around control, longevity, and personal legacy in the digital space.

By pairing patented technology with a consumer-first interface, the company isn’t just building another app—it’s shaping a new category: part-private messenger, part-social network, part-digital vault.

And with patents stacking up across the globe, DatChat is signaling that it plans to own the rails of this emerging privacy-first media landscape.
