KeyWord Registry..

Success622 just posted a reminder of this:

STERLING, Va., March 31, 2009 – NeuStar (NYSE: NSR) today unveiled the first successful demonstration and implementation of technology that enables cell phones to scan and process two-dimensional bar codes – regardless of the mobile service provider, type of bar code symbology, or scanning technology used.
NeuStar’s pilot program is based on open standards and demonstrates interoperability among the world’s most successful bar code campaign managers, symbologies, and code reader technologies through NeuStar’s trusted third party central clearinghouse and registry services. Announced at CTIA, the program currently involves industry-leading companies 3GVision, Mobile Discovery, Mobile Tag, and NeoMedia.

Now, wouldn't neustar or group named to be the clearinghouse through CTIA, be responsible for the KeyWord Registry?

And the importance of it all (keyword registry) is that NEOM has the concept patented, correct?
