EXHIBIT 99

 

BlackStar will Receive another Patent on its Revolutionary Digital Trading Platform: A Blockchain Encrypted Infrastructure Designed to Enable Securities to Trade on a Blockchain. 

 

BOULDER, CO / May 9, 2024 / BlackStar Enterprise Group, Inc. (“BlackStar”) (OTC Pink: BEGI) BlackStar on 05/06/2024 received a ‘Notice of Allowance’ from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), U.S. Patent Application No. 18/415,938 Title: “Systems And Methods For Using A Digital Trading Platform To Trade Securities On A Blockchain.” The technology claimed in the patent application covers trading of both registered and unregistered securities on a blockchain. BlackStar’s revolutionary software is called the BlackStar Digital Trading Platform^TM (“BDTP^TM”), a trading platform for electronic fungible shares in book-entry, and compliant at any U.S. Brokerage Firm.

 

When asked for comment, BlackStar’s CEO, Joseph E Kurczodyna stated that “this patent gives BlackStar its broadest protection yet and provides broad coverage for the trading of securities of any kind on a blockchain.” When this patent issues in due course through the USPTO, anticipated in June 2024, BlackStar will have three patents issued that cover blockchain technology as applied to the traditional Broker Dealer Eco System.
