NeoMedia Technologies, Inc (NEOM)

from another board

I love seeing all the 800 pound gorillas like IBM, Microsoft & Google trying to enter this space and grab a slice of the pie.
The only problem is that NeoMedia owns the patents that cover this technology. Patents that date back to the mid 90's & considered the earliest core art.

NeoMedia just partnered with NeuStar who will act as NeoMedia's licensing agent in the US.

Also, NeoMedia's long time rival and competitor Scanbuy just signed a 10 year royalty based licensing agreement with NeoMedia, which further strengthens the IP.

How long until IBM or Microsoft buys NeoMedia and their valuable patent portfolio and dominates the mobile barcode market?

The OMA & GSMA are defining the standards. CTIA is about to award the code registry & clearinghouse to NeuStar. The ecosystem is nearly complete & about to come online.

Get ready!
