great news...Turnkey IP Turns $1.75M Revenue in Milestone Agreement
Encounter Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ENTI) CEO, Rick DiBiase, is pleased to announce that the company has sold its patented Video Sales Platform (VSP), a concept designed for the Internet Yellow Pages Industry, to a corporate purchaser for 1.75 million dollars.
The deal took place in the wake of what was originally to be Encounter's own launch of the platform, until it was evident that the company could secure revenues without letting go of the software itself. Negotiations won Encounter the right to sell VSP under non-exclusive terms, which means, "We receive the money and also keep the ability to develop and market the technology," states DiBiase. "This was a win-win deal for certain as, first and foremost, we've proven to monetize an intangible asset in development to the tune of nearly 2 million dollars."
The Agreement is understood by both parties that the purchaser name will stay anonymous and will wholly acquire VSP for $1.75m, but because the software platform can be tweaked for a number of applications and potential business models, it was agreed to forego any non-compete clause and left rights to the base VSP technology with ENTI, resulting in Encounter's ability to still develop a solution with the software for its own use. "It's the great thing about Intellectual Property: so long as the agreement allows, you can monetize the IP in several different fashions, even concurrently, which allows for additional company reserves as well as substantial operating and development capital which we feel is quite an advantage for ENTI and its shareholders."
Encounter will continue to develop the software in-house for its own unique offering to the independent Yellow Pages publishers online, utilizing an aggressive mass media marketing campaign paired with a high-profile celebrity spokesperson. "We have some great ideas for the VSP technology that we'll be developing as we forge ahead with the booming MusicMatrix.com, announcing its celebrity spokesperson in the coming days, in line with our strategic DISH Network campaign and progressive internet hits."
