Eventure Interactive Inc. (fka EVTI)

More in regards to EVTI's patents, I pulled them up and read more into them...much of the specifics are still a bit greek to me, however, I wanted to confirm that these patents likely won't quickly become obsolete as we were discussing earlier today.

EVTI didn't patent the technology or devices used in creating ad hoc networks, but the methodology used in securing devices on those networks. In other words, it doesn't matter if the users are using wi-fi, bluetooth, or some new technology yet to be invented, or what specific devices they are connected to the network with...as long as they are using that particular methodology to secure them, they are utilizing EVTI's patents.

The second patent appears to be more specific methodologies that build upon the methodologies used in the first patent.

In my opinion, these patents may not just be desirable to Facebook, Google, or other social media companies, but may also catch the eye of specific device manufacturers who want to utilize the methodologies of securing their devices when used together to share files say at a party or in school, etc. This could attract Apple (for their iphones, ipads, or ipods) as well as Samsung, Motorola, etc. It would likely be more appealing to social networking companies, but the latter companies may also see some big benefits.

Just my $.02.

Maybe somebody with more techie knowledge can break the patents down even further...I did my best. Networking has never been my strong point. I was always more into the software and hardware sides. ;)

For reference:
Patent 1

Patent 2

In addition, if you read into those patents, there is discussion that Twitter's Periscope app may be in violation of the EVTI patent. If it is, that could have an interesting outcome should legal action be pursued. It's worth keeping an eye on anyway.
