ICAP Ocean Tomo, the intellectual property brokerage division of ICAP plc (IAP.L), will offer for sale issued U.S. patent 7,634,076 relating to digital media distribution at its upcoming Live Auction Event March 25th in San Francisco.
Although the use of digital media has grown exponentially over the last two decades, distribution of this media is problematic as files require high bandwidth and secure transmission channels. The patent in this portfolio describes a method for the efficient and secure distribution of multiple digital media files to a server via separate routes in a network. The patent also incorporates smart card technology which authenticates a user and grants them access to the digital media files thus reducing the risk of piracy.
ICAP Ocean Tomo''s Dean Becker said, "This portfolio will help digital media distributors enhance their capabilities to provide content in a secure manner and should be of interest to companies related to DTH TV, IPTV, Mobile TV, network infrastructure institutions, media rights distribution, and Video-On-Demand."
Indicium''s John Bolger and Peter Lee, the Lot owners stated, "It''s a simple, secure, elegant, solution to deliver digital media to users. Think of it as ''one innovative structurally sound network'' to rule them all. We are both thrilled and grateful to be working with ICAP Ocean Tomo."
