Ennova Direct Licenses its Retractable USB Flash Drive Patent US 6,979,210
Ennova Direct, Inc. today announced a long-term patent license agreement that grants Zamzee rights to practice Ennova Direct's patented Retractable USB Flash Drive, Patent No. US 6,979,210. Zamzee will use the license in connection with the Zamzee meter. Zamzee is an online rewards platform for teens powered by their physical activity. To earn rewards, teens wear the Zamzee meter, a three-axis accelerometer specially calibrated to record short bursts of movement as well as vigorous activity. Physical activity recorded by the Zamzee meter powers a teen's online account at www.zamzee.com. Activity boosts a teen's status within Zamzee and can be converted into spendable Zamz, a virtual currency used to purchase both online and tangible rewards. The Zamzee meter includes a retractable USB drive for easy transfer of activity data from a user's device to his or her account.
"We are impressed with Zamzee's objective to make moving around a fun, rewarding experience for teens and are excited to contribute our intellectual property to assist Zamzee in achieving their goals," said Paul Regen, CEO, Ennova Direct.
"Now that Ennova Direct's business model has transitioned into licensing and selling its intellectual property, we're able to reach out and assist other companies in achieving their business objectives. This new model offers us the opportunity to explore new areas of business we would have otherwise not entered into; it's a win-win structure," said Peter Garrett, President, Ennova Direct.
