RESTON, Va. — January 30, 2026 — Leads & Copy — ACTFORE has received a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its technology, Template Identification and Matching for Data Analysis in Large Sets of Documents.
ACTFORE, a provider of AI-powered breach response and data mining solutions, said the patented technology enables pixel-level fingerprinting of documents, allowing the system to identify, classify, and match structurally similar files across unstructured datasets.
According to Yumna Zaidi, Innovations Team Lead and Co-Inventor, the technology teaches computers to see structure, giving responders clarity when they need it. She added that the patent is about empowering people with insight, speed, and confidence.
The company said the core of the patent is an image-processing engine that converts each document page into an image-based representation composed of pixel key points and descriptors. The platform detects shared structural patterns between documents, even when formatting, layout, or quality differ.
The system identifies unique templates within a dataset, which are structural blueprints that define document types. It then compares those templates across millions of pages to match documents with the same underlying structure, enabling batching and reducing redundant review, the company said.
Sanskriti Shivhare, Data Scientist Team Lead and Co-Inventor, said that template intelligence is the missing link in scalable document analysis, unlocking automation that accelerates review without sacrificing quality.
According to ACTFORE, this establishes a foundational model for how breach-response systems must operate as data volumes increase and regulatory complexity intensifies.
Christian Geyer, CEO of ACTFORE, said that the technology strengthens everything the company is building, accelerating their mission to deliver clarity, accuracy, and speed. ACTFORE said it transforms the toughest challenges in breach response into opportunities for innovation.
ACTFORE delivers AI/ML-powered data mining solutions for legal counsel, insurance carriers, and corporations. It specializes in detecting and uncovering compromised sensitive information in cyber breaches. ACTFORE’s technology can process over 1 million files per hour per software instance. Its on-premises, on-shore, technology-first approach offers assessments, enabling clients to understand the scope of exfiltration, mitigate risk, and make decisions about ransom payments, the company said.
Clients maintain control of their data through ACTFORE’s secure lab or local deployment options. ACTFORE said it is trusted by over 25 insurance carriers and 35 law firms, including Am Law 100 firms, and sets the standard in incident response and data forensics.
