Dow Jones Description
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of Delaware that operates through our wholly-owned California subsidiary of the same name. We have innovated a proprietary secure digital video/audio technology platform ("DVAP") and market our eVU mobile entertainment device for the travel and recreational industries. We also own and are licensing our Flash-R portfolio of patents related to the use of flash memory in portable devices. Our revenue is derived from the sale of DVAP products and accessories to customers, warranty and technical support services and content fees and related services. We also obtain patent license revenue from our Flash-R patent portfolio. Our strategy is to market our eVU products and services to a growing base of U.S. and international companies in the airline, healthcare, and other travel and leisure industries. We employ both direct sales to customers and sales through value added resellers (VARs) that provide marketing, logistic and/or content services to customers. We are commercializing our Flash-R patent portfolio through licensing and we are aggressively pursuing enforcement by litigating against those who may be infringing our patents. Our international legal firm Duane Morris LLP is handling our patent enforcement matters on a contingent fee basis. In September 2007 and March 2008 we filed our first tranche of patent infringement litigation against eight defendants. ...
