Madrid, August 26th - The Dominican Republic authorities have granted Lleida.net (BME:LLN) (EPA:ALLLN) (OTCQX:LLEIF) a new patent for its Method for Certifying an Electronic Mail comprising a trusted digital signature by a telecommunications operator.

This is the second patent that the Spanish company has received in the Caribbean country, and it is valid for 20 years.

For Lleida.net, R&D, internationalization and commitment to intellectual property are pillars of its medium-term strategy.
