The Philips lot comprises over fifty assets with worldwide coverage relating to digital networking, with an emphasis on message delivery over digital networks. The ubiquity of technology throughout businesses in all industries has made the idea of launching a startup without budgeting for computer hardware and other technology costs nearly inconceivable. Further, as a company grows, its reliance on technology only increases, as instantaneous communication becomes critical to organization, efficiency and productivity.
The Philips assets up for auction on July 23rd pertain to mid- to large-scale communication systems and provide substantial domestic and international protection. The portfolio includes assets relating to converged systems involving both web-based and wireless networks, to new and improved message delivery methods using network beacons, novel means of interaction between beacon devices and portable network devices, and even methods for using the communication network to locate mobile devices.
“Businesses that are serious about maximizing the utility of their networks, particularly internet service providers and network software developers, would do well to look into these assets” said Dean Becker, of ICAP Ocean Tomo. “The breadth of this lot’s protection will make it a strong addition to any patent portfolio.”
Potential buyers/licensees include internet service providers, software companies, wireless, targeted advertising firms, and networking infrastructure manufacturers.
