Press Release: September 13, 2011

Sale of RFID Patent Portfolio Announced by Technology, Patents & Licensing, Inc. (TPL)

DOYLESTOWN, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Technology, Patents & Licensing, Inc. (TPL), a patent analysis, strategy and transactions firm, has announced the sale of its Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) patent portfolio. The patent portfolio, developed over the last five years, covers aspects of RFID tracking and in particular techniques and databases for tracking of critical items.

RFID technology provides for a superior and more efficient way of identifying objects than manual systems or even bar code systems that have been in use since the 1970s. RFID has many practical applications, and tags can be affixed to any object and used to track and manage inventory, assets and people. Distinguished RFID patent holders include IBM, Motorola Solutions, Samsung, Hitachi and Siemens.

The portfolio of five patents was developed by Dr. Charles Eldering, TPL’s founder and President, who recruited co-inventor Pete Kuzma, an RFID expert, to lead the focused R&D program. This approach allowed the inventors to develop patent applications which they believed would have significant economic value when the patents issued and the technology evolved.

“Working together with Charles and TPL led to a process of accelerated development that resulted in sets of inventions that we would have otherwise been unable to identify on our own,” said Mr. Kuzma. “The process was collaborative and efficient.”

According to Dr. Eldering, who holds advanced degrees in electrical engineering and solid state science and technology, strategic patenting is an idea whose time has come.

“Large corporations and small entities both are aware how thoughtful, strategic development of IP rights improves the chances for patent success,” he said. “Increases in invention disclosures and prosecution activity in the absence of a portfolio goal and monetization strategy won’t take businesses very far.”
