goog extends inuv contract thru jan.31 only

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/829323/000135448812006513/inuv_8k.htm

board releases operations ceo corrao and replaces with strategic mergers ceo howe. corrao to be paid $480000 over next six months, but has to work total of 40 hors to get it. 40 hours = one 8 hr day per week to meet with diligence teams during five week process that ends when goog extension ends

did you notice how much good news from co until the patent fell from heaven? not a word since, not even an announcement of the patent. this is because patent announcement would push the stock up to $3 or more and make sales process tougher

wonder if they will let multiple other bidders process run concurrent

looks like nobody wasting time to buy patent,easier to buy the company. after the close announced strategic merger exec taking over from operations guy. good to see ole softy getting kicked in the balls. tried yo steal the tech now they tried to steal the patent too. looks like goog exercising its right to make msft pay 3x what they wanted to pay to buy a company.

im going on record at $4.50 when all is saifd and done, since it just got competitive.

goog v msft, wonder if goog really wants it. at $4 share, a buyer who gets 100% of ppc search revenue (msft or goog) pays for the deal from the clicks alone in < two years. other businesses and royalties free.

r is resumed trading

msft should buy. patent suit from vrng,vclk or even inuv could shut down sale of atlas and cost much more. msft drops $35m to buy patent and they get royalties to pay for it x 10 over next five years. they buy validclick network and ad revenue pays for it. dont count out msft, biggest infringer has deepest pockets.

vclk,driv, buy.com all save $ and make $ by buying this patent instead of paying royalties. at vrng google rate of 3,5%, inuv makes $35m in first year. do the math. no way the should take less than they paid for it

not halted today, very low volume. watch for halt or circuit breaker when patent is announced. they paid $32m for the in process patent pending tech six years ago and the whole company is trading for $27 million right now. will be a lot more when people find out about the patent

inuv awarded patent 8,321,269 Thursday worth $4/share

found on USPTO website, company will have to announce it by next week, this patent covers methods used by msft, vclk and all of the big ecommerce companies that have affiliate programs. when inuv paid $32m to acquire this (2005), the market it covered was less than 1/3 of its current size. Now the technology has an enforceable patent behind it and the market is much much larger. this may be worth $4 - $5 per share to inuv (trading at $1.16 right now). theres a full description of the patent and how msft, vclk and the rest are going to have to pay to play if you go to the inuv thread -

would vrng buy inuv's new ecommerce patent?

inuv just got awarded patent #8,321,269 that covers most affiliate ecommerce transactions kind of like vrng has the lycos patents that cover most search click transcations. msft, vclk and others are big users of methods covered and they should have to pay inuv if its enforced. there is message board talk about vrng buying inuv but that seems too far out to me, more like they will either buy the patent or do a deal like they did with nokia.

inuv's patent was just awarded last week, may not be announced until next week, but will probably cause the stock to go way up because this patent was acquired for $32 million before the patent was awarded but the whole company is now valued at below $30 million. now that the patent is enforceable and the market it covers has grown about 5x since it was filed (2005), the patent might be worth 4 - 5x the value of the entire company.

if vrng buys it or does deal to enforce it, they will then be getting a piece of the action for most search transactions, most ecommerce transactions and mobile too.

patent #8,321,269 awarded thursday to inuvo worth $4/share

inuvo just received a patent that might be worth 10x the value of the entire company. the technology and in process patent application were acquired in 2006 for $32 million. It patents a process that was designed for detecting fraud in search and affiliate networks. the company has used it for a small ad network, but the money use of it is by the affiliate networks where every big player is using components of it in some aspects of the patented process including valueclick, rakuten and the one who seems to be the biggest infringer who is none other than microsoft. a customized version of this technology was created for msft soon after inuvo acquired the technology. it seems that msft took it and tweaked it a little and then just quit paying inuvo for it. the money the owner of this can make if they enforce it could be in the hundreds of millions over time. If you just look at valueclicks commission junction merchants, that includes almost every major retailer, discounter, deal a day seller and the only big ones it doesnt have are in the rakuten program. that means that you could see the owner of this patent getting some fraction of a percentage of nearly every affiliate transaction going forward and that would be worth hundreds of millions if not billions of $$. inuvo calls it valid click and even though its got a patent now they probably cant afford to enforce it. vclk could buy the whole company for 3x the trading price and it would be cheaper than paying 1% of its affiliate revenue the next few years. rumors flying that vrng is already looking at it and they will pay more. they have the guns and backing to enfore the patent, they are already about to rock msft's world on the search side and they see ecommerce transactions as the third leg of the stool (search, mobile, ecommerce). this patent was awarded last week and since inuvo has been real quiet about it, probably out jet shopping. people close to this company say management probably will not sell the whole company because they would be out of a job, more likely they will figure out the way that they can make the most money from this. either way, bet the stock pops like a rocket when the word gets out or management feels like they have reached the limit of when their fiduciary duties will require them to announce it.

if it was worth $32 million with a pending patent, what is it worth with a valid enforceable patent? Maybe $100m or more which is more than $4 a share for this company thats trading at $1.15. dude posted earlier this stock to $5 or $10 in a few months might be in a few days instead, once everyone finds out about this
