Smartbiz: You are correct. Its all good for Neom. The patents for Nextcode are on the ability to read the code, but not crossing the bridge. Search their patents and you won't even see the word Internet come up.
Paperclick is, at the moment, just working with their Paperclick codes and (regular barcodes which are still universally used). I said at the moment because voice and RFID are coming. It will be easier for cell manufactures to compete with Nokia in making the macro lens, than for Nextcode to change the entire barcode system to Nextcodes. Remember that barcodes have been used for many years and everybody has programs written for them. You think every bar code on every product in the world will change over...no.
If there is going to be some universal changes, it will be through RFID ;>).
Neom could license from Nextcode/Spotcode for their tech and they can license from Neom for the bridge. But, when the better phones are available, Neom won't need to license.
Like I said, its all good for Neom. The concept of making mobile camera phones into mini computers is creating a very big space for Neom. I think a settlement with Virgin or a license from a big boy will happen before Paperclick gets into full swing. That's what will move up the pps to new OTCBB highs this year. Paperlick is the icing on the licensing cake! But it would be bad business for Neom not to keep themselves busy by promoting Paperclick and asserting themselves into the space. They are doing just that right now at CeBIT and CTIA!
Neom doesn't want to be vulnerable again financially and CSI and initial Paperclick revenue will help until the big deals start coming in.
I'm still looking for a deal to be announced with Dupont and another generated from UVerify/SST/Ron Parsons.
Remember, for end users in the commercial industries, they will buy the Nokia just for doing one task with Paperclick.
All the best. (JP were you the first to use that phrase? I like it.)
