Len, Re: FORG, I took this off of the FORG homepage under "news" It is dated July 27, 2004.

Over the last two years, the intellectual property business has generated approximately $90 million from licensing the '672 Patent to 30 different companies in Asia, Europe and the United States. The '672 Patent relates to digital image compression, and fields of use include any digital still image device used to compress, store, manipulate, print or transmit digital still images such as digital cameras. However, the '672 Patent extends beyond digital cameras and includes many digital still image devices such as personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, printers, scanners, and other devices used to compress, store, manipulate, print or transmit digital still images. Forgent has the exclusive right to license and enforce all the claims under the '672 Patent in all fields of use involving digital still image compression. Recently, the company initiated litigation against 31 companies for infringement of the '672 Patent in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.

Now this is from the FORG message board. I don't know where this poster got this information that actually names some of the companies that have paid to use FORG intelectual property.

FORG is going much higher. Here is why

They already settled with Sony, Adobe and Macromedia for millions. Obviously they have something to sue about. By the way, i think Sony also settled with AEXCA for millions on similar patents. FORG really has something and will have at least 3 huge companies' license payments to back them up. As we get closer to the hearing date in April, we should see some of those 41 companies start to buckle and settle with FORG.
