More Than 1,000 Local Advertisers Adopt Mobivity's Newly Launched Patent Licensing Program
PHOENIX, Nov. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON), an award-winning provider of proprietary and patented mobile marketing technologies and solutions today announced the launch of its patent licensing program pertaining to Mobivity's U.S. Patent number 6788769 B1 that covers a method and system for using telephone numbers as a key to accessing mobile subscriber information without the use of a look-up database.
The launch of this patent licensing program, which commenced in October of this year, has now been agreed to by over 1,000 of Mobivity's new and existing customer base. A method for looking up wireless carrier destination information is key to the process of sending SMS text messages and is often essential when processing mobile marketing messages. The license will cover Mobivity's customers as long as they are subscribed to Mobivity's mobile marketing service.
Dennis Becker, chief executive officer of Mobivity commented, "At the core of the Mobivity product portfolio is patented technology that delivers SMS text messages across numerous networks instantaneously and simultaneously. Mobivity's customers are provided access to this technology that others in the industry may be unable to provide. We believe adoption of our core patents through the licensing of our products and services is a productive step in validating our intellectual property and its place in the market."
Mr. Becker concluded, "We have engaged an aggressive sales and marketing strategy to expand the use of our SMS text messaging and Stampt mobile loyalty program. With an expansion of our direct sales force, as well as the introduction of our indirect model through companies such as Valley Yellow Pages, we believe we have the plans in place to build on the strong and patented infrastructure that we have created."
