Marketwired
SENSIO Technologies inc. ("SENSIO") (TSX VENTURE: SIO), inventor of
the SENSIO� 3D technology, announces that it has been granted its
first main patent for its distribution and formatting technology of
stereoscopic contents on different 2D or 3D screens. This patent
covers the method that has been developed and marketed by SENSIO
for many years and which allows the distribution of 3D content over
conventional 2D distribution channels.
"The acquisition of this first patent is a major event in our
company's history, because it confirms the legitimacy and solidity
of our intellectual property towards studios and manufacturers and
supports our licensed business sales model. Going forward, our
customers and partners wishing to use the SENSIO� 3D technology
will be able to move ahead by knowing that they can rely on a solid
basis and on a clearly defined intellectual property, which puts us
in a favorable position vis-a-vis our competitors. With this patent
in hand and the recently announced developments, we believe that we
have significantly increased our chances to become the 3D
distribution standard for the consumer market", said Nicholas
Routhier, SENSIO's President and CEO.
This patent, delivered by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office ("USPTO"), gives SENSIO the exclusive operating rights for
its compression and decompression method on the U.S. territory. As
delivered, this patent extends beyond the home theatre market and
notably to the professional, personal computer and mobile telephony
markets. It takes effect as of the date of the filing of the
application in 2003, and remains in force for a period of twenty
years. The same patent was also filed in China, Europe, Japan,
India and Canada. The acceptance of our patent by the USPTO will
help us with our current steps and we remain confident that we will
obtain the certification in these countries", explained Nicholas
Routhier.
Several other patents to come
Following the patent application filing which has just been
approved, a patent of addition was filed in 2004 covering namely
different applications of the technology. As the main patent gives
a certain degree of latitude, several patents of addition may be
added over time so as to protect the technology's evolutionary
aspects and thus ensure its competitiveness. As well, three other
patent applications were filed during the last six months, and they
are currently following the normal certification procedure. "As a
technological company, our intellectual property is our greatest
asset and we have adopted an approach aimed at increasing our
intellectual property portfolio in order to stay at the forefront
and increase the value of our company. The acquisition of our first
patent is perceived as an important approval of our approach and we
have every confidence in our future patents", added Mr. Etienne
Fortin, Chief Technological Officer at SENSIO.
