THE
COMPANY
Our
principal business is the acquisition, development, licensing and
protection of our intellectual property. We presently own six patents
covering various telecommunications and data networking technologies.
Our
strategy is to pursue licensing and strategic business alliances
with
companies in industries that manufacture and sell products that make
use
of the technologies underlying our patents as well as with other
users of
the technologies who benefit directly from the technologies including
corporate, educational and governmental entities.
In
February 2004, we initiated licensing efforts relating to one of
our
patents (U.S. Patent No. 6,218,930) covering the remote delivery
of power
over Ethernet cables (the “Remote Power Patent”). We have focused, and
will continue to focus, our efforts on licensing our Remote Power
Patent.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not entered into any license
agreements with respect to our Remote Power Patent. During the next
12
months, our management does not anticipate licensing efforts for
our other
patents besides the Remote Power Patent. Our Remote Power Patent
relates
to, among other things, several key technologies underlying the IEEE
803.3af Power Over Ethernet standard that was approved on June 13,
2003 by
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. This standard
governs the delivery of power over Ethernet cables in order to remotely
power network connected devices, including wireless switches, wireless
access points, RFID card readers, VOIP telephones, enterprise LAN
switches
and network cameras.
Our
future success is largely dependent upon our proprietary technologies,
our
ability to protect our intellectual property rights and to enter
into
license agreements for our technology. In addition to our patent
litigation against D-Link Corporation and D-Link Systems, Incorporated
for
infringement of our Remote Power Patent as described below, it may
be
necessary for us to commence patent litigation against additional
third
parties whom we believe require a license to our patents. We also
may be
subject to third party claims seeking to invalidate our patents.
On
August 10, 2005, we commenced patent litigation against D-Link Corporation
and D-Link Systems, Incorporated in the United States District Court
for
the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler division (Civil Action No. 6:05W291),
for infringement of our Remote Power Patent. Our complaint seeks,
among
other things, a judgment that our Remote Power Patent is enforceable
and
has been infringed by the defendants. We are also seeking a permanent
injunction restraining the defendants from continued infringement,
or
active inducement of infringement by others, of our Remote Power
Patent.
In the event the Court determines that our Remote Power Patent was
not
valid or enforceable and/or that the defendants did not infringe,
any such
determination would have a material adverse effect on our
company.
|
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July
1990.
Our executive offices are located at 445 Park Avenue, Suite 1028,
New
York, New York 10022 and our telephone number at that address is
(212)
829-5700. Our web site can be found at
