Are you aware that our patent attorney Benjamin Urcia is a former US Patent Examiner. Are you aware that this technology is so advanced that Mr. Urcia has to explain to our patent examiner Mr.Abe Sholeman the language in the patent. Are you aware that our CEO has many patents registered in his name. I'm not quite sure what your objectives are here but if there was any issue with patent it would not have been approved. It's quite common to have language change in patents as they're being developed.
TTCM CEO Dr. Jon Leonard is a prolific inventor with a number of patents already issued. He has proven to be a very transparent, honest, and shareholder-friendly CEO since taking over the RDSH shell to bring his Click Evidence Co (now known as Tautachrome) public.
With many patents to his name along with his high level of integrity and excellent reputation, I tend to believe his "spin" as you call it rather than yours.
Jon N. Leonard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Authentication and validation of smartphone imagery Patent number: 9582843 Abstract: A method, system, and processor-executable software for processing images or video captured by a smartphone or other digital image capture device for subsequent validation and authentication captures not only the image, but also metadata relevant to the authenticity of validity of the image, such as position, time, camera movement and orientation, image parameters, and so forth. The image is watermarked and both the watermarked image and the metadata, as well as a symmetric key used in the watermarking, are digitally signed and transmitted or uploaded to a web server or authentication centric entity for authentication and storage. When a third party submits an image to the web server or authentication centric entity, the submitted image is compared with the stored watermarked image for authentication and validation of the submitted image, and the metadata is then retrieved to enable analysis of the contents of authenticated and validated image.
