"We will continue to enforce our patents through fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory patent licensing or through litigation," said Fred Falk, president and CEO of e.Digital. "Our objective is simply to monetize our technology for the betterment of the Company and our shareholders. Responsible companies like Diasonic and iriver, who respect the intellectual properties of others, are some of the most recent parties to license our technology. In addition, we are in licensing negotiations with several other companies which we expect will materialize into finalized agreements soon," added Falk.
"In addition to the efforts on the Flash-R portfolio, we are executing a licensing strategy for our Nunchi ® patent portfolio. Along with IPmetrics, our patent licensing consultant, we are targeting strategic partners to license our Nunchi context and interpersonal awareness systems technologies," concluded Falk.
e.Digital's Flash-R patent portfolio is comprised of fundamental technology related to the use of flash memory in the large and growing portable electronic products market. The Company introduced the first portable recorder with removable flash memory in 1993 and believes its patent portfolio to be essential to many consumer electronics products that utilize flash memory including cell phones, digital cameras, camcorders, PDAs and other popular devices.
The Nunchi patent portfolio describes foundational technologies of mobile devices, cloud computing and adaptive computing enabling mobile devices to function introspectively, adaptively, and anticipatorily, providing new user experiences, new revenue models and adding value for mobile communications.
