If amazon is applying for a patent similar to paperclick then I think that speaks volumes of the value in our 'little' company.

OT: got another 10000 shares. Not close to JoeD but will be happy in the not too distant future.

Will someone with far more knowledge than I pertaining to PC's suite of patents, ascertain if this is an infringement, please.

Thanks,

bigs: How can you tell it's from Amazon? Just curious...do the inventors work for them? I don't see Amazon on the application. Also, I see that it was filed for on 12/31/03.

Funny, that's 3 months after NeoMedia and Amazon "joined forces", as noted in their NR of 9/30/03.

"FT. MYERS, FL, Sep. 30, 2003 -- NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), announced today that it has become a member of the amazon.com Web Services and Associates Programs, and concurrently introduced an application of its patented PaperClick™ technology which links book shoppers to price and availability information at amazon.com through wireless phones or personal computers."


Obviously, I haven't had time to examine the details of this patent application, but I wonder if they were/are trying to get around paying a licence fee. On the surface, it appears to not connect to the internet, but rather their own internal servers, limiting the scope of it's application, IMO.

Like I said, haven't detailed everything about it yet.

Any other opinions?
