Marathon Patent Group Announces Settlement and License Agreement
ALEXANDRIA, VA--(Marketwired - Nov 6, 2013) - Marathon Patent Group, Inc. (OTCBB: MARA) ("Marathon"), an intellectual property services and patent licensing company, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CyberFone Systems, LLC ("CyberFone"), has entered into a license and settlement agreement with a leading technology company.
The CyberFone patent portfolio covers claims enabling methods for data transactions involving the use of data templates in the form of menus on a transaction entry device accessible to the user. The templates are executed by a forms based operating system and entail interaction with a network-based system.
The patent portfolio has a well-established history of revenue generation, demonstrating the value of the assets, as well as the widespread applicability across multiple industries. Since the licensing campaign began nearly 22 months ago, the patent portfolio has produced 37 settlement and license agreements. Ongoing infringement continues, and the CyberFone portfolio is currently being enforced against additional defendants.
The Shaked & Co Law Firm represented CyberFone Systems in the transaction.
