Tautachrome (OCTQB: TTCM) Updates its Patent Goals and Progress
January 19 2017 - 7:15AM
Tautachrome, Inc. (OTCQB:TTCM) today announced that it has been
updated by its patent attorney, Benjamin Urcia of the patent firm
Bacon & Thomas in Alexandria, Virginia, and the U.S. Patent
Office on the timelines of issuance and examination of its patent
and patent claims. The Company also explained its intentions
regarding the use of the
KlickZie technology it is
developing under the protection of the allowed and pending claims.
Tautachrome’s KlickZie patent applications are
currently being pursued in two principal areas: Trusted Imaging and
Talk-to-the-Picture communications.
The Trusted Imaging patent area has a cloud-based component that
certifies the authenticity of pictures and videos made in a
KlickZie-equipped smartphone. As we announced on
December 22, 2016, all of the authentication claims in this patent
area have been allowed. Publication of this patent could occur from
one to three weeks from today. The other KlickZie
claims are being pursued in two separate patent applications making
for a total of three patents in the Trusted Imaging patent area:
one allowed and two pending.
The breakthrough novelty of KlickZie technology
is that it is able to provide evidence-grade trustability of its
pictures and videos, and the trustability it provides is a property
of the pictures and videos themselves. Trust goes with the imagery.
It doesn’t matter where the imagery goes or who handles it. It’s
not a property of the chain of custody of the imagery, evidence
lockers for the imagery, handling procedures for the imagery, or
anything else of that sort. This is huge for certain companies and
entities, and Tautachrome is working very hard on a relationship
with a Fortune 50 company for which this will have great value. In
addition, this technology makes every consumer smartphone a trusted
imager, an absolute game-changer for society.
The Talk-to-the-Picture patent area adds an element to the
pictures and videos that are made in a
KlickZie-equipped smartphone that we call
activation. An amazing thing happens when
activated imagery is a part of the ordinary image
making of smartphone users. It turns out that
KlickZie activation adds a new world of usefulness
to these pictures and videos. When you come across an activated
picture, you can communicate with the author of the picture, or
with others who have seen the picture or are seeing the picture at
that moment, whether you know these people or not and wherever they
may be on earth, merely by clicking or touching the picture
(“touch-to-comm”). The picture itself makes the communication
happen. It does not matter where or how you come across an
activated picture, you can engage it, interact with it, or share
it, just by touching or clicking it.
In addition, what happens to an activated picture from its
creation onward gets invisibly added to the picture’s data and can
be tracked into the future. Activated pictures can answer many
questions. For example, in a group photo you could ask: Have any of
the people in my contacts list interacted with this picture? Are
any of them engaging it right now? Who else besides my contacts
have already engaged this picture in some way? Who took it, where
and when?
Our studies have shown us two things about activated imagery.
The first is that our interactive and engageable activated imagery
will act like a new language on the web, replacing text. The second
is that our user base will grow to more than a billion users in
record time, and will continue to grow after that to most of the
smartphone users on the planet. The reason for this second factor
is that every activated picture or video acts as an advertisement
to anybody who sees it, shouting out I’m amazing! I’m free!
Download me now! Monetizing such large user bases has been shown
repeatedly to be both possible and extremely profitable.
The Talk-to-the-Picture patent application was filed with the US
Patent Office (USPTO) fifteen months ago in August 2015, and has
been caught in the giant patent backlog. We have requested and
received a prediction-letter from the Patent Office which stated
that examination of our application is estimated to occur in
approximately seven months. The letter also stated “The USPTO is
dedicated to minimizing [backlog], and we are targeting resources
to help address backlogs...”
"We want our investors to know that our intention is to build
out our technology, products and organization with no waiting.
Patents are great and we expect to achieve all of our patent goals
in due time. But nothing will stop our progress in funding and
developing Tautachrome’s flagship KlickZie
technology. When patents catch up, they will help cement and
protect our competitive position," said Dr. Jon Leonard, CEO.
