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.
