New pending patent applications are published by the USPTO on Thursdays. Today's Spotlight Applications continue the theme of blockchain (distributed ledgers, smart contracts) and digital rights management broadly construed. Assigned to Kadena, LLC, the first application discloses techniques for providing for a proof-of-work parallel-chain architecture for a distributed ledger system (e.g., a blockchain) with efficient throughout and security. Assigned to Ericsson (SE), the second application discloses techniques for handling transfer of a data object between network domains.

Abstract
Systems, apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture are described herein for providing for a proof-of-work parallel-chain architecture for a distributed ledger system (e.g., a blockchain) with efficient throughout and security.
20190089540, "Data object transfer between network domains," assigned to Ericsson (SE).
Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for handling transfer of a data object between network domains. A method is performed by a first data controller of a first network domain. The method comprises obtaining a request for transmission of the data object to a second data controller of a second network domain. The method comprises obtaining an identifier identifying allowable transfer of the data object between the first network domain and the second network domain. The method comprises providing a cryptographic integrity signature to the data object. The method comprises enabling transfer of the data object to the second network domain according to the identifier.
