Our patented GABRIEL Connection Technology combines industry standard encryption protocols with our patented techniques for automated domain name system, or DNS, lookup mechanisms, enabling users to create a secure communication link using secure domain names. We also intend to establish the exclusive secure domain name registry in the United States and other key markets around the world. Our software and technology solutions provide the security platform required by next-generation Internet-based applications such as instant messaging, or IM, voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, mobile services, streaming video, file transfer and remote desktop. Our technology generates secure connections on a "zero-click" or "single-click" basis, significantly simplifying the deployment of secure real-time communication solutions by eliminating the need for end users to enter any encryption information. We intend to license our patents and our GABRIEL Connection Technology to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, within the IP-telephony, mobility, fixed-mobile convergence and unified communications markets.A We also intend to license our patent portfolio, technology, and software, including our secure domain name registry service, to communication service providers as well as to system integrators. ...

John Cronin is Managing Director and Chairman of ipCG. Capitalizing on a lifelong study of creative and inventive thinking processes, business strategy development, and transaction negotiations, John has created the unique ipCapital System methodology, which extracts and documents invention, identifies opportunity and risk, drives transactions to completion, and creates significant market value from intellectual property (IP). Over the years, he has become a respected thought leader among executives who wish to align business issues and IP, and translate strategies into actionable financial results. John has led ipCG from a small consulting practice to the largest professional services firm of its kind, serving over 450 clients since 1998. The primary architect of ipCG's proprietary IP strategy tools and best-in-class transaction methods, John has also negotiated deals for ipCG clients, including out-licensing agreements, asset sales, and mergers and acquisitions. Working closely with the entire staff, John continues to lead consulting assignments for a wide variety of clients. Prior to founding ipCG, John was a distinguished inventor at IBM for 17 years. During his tenure, he patented 100 inventions, published over 150 technical papers, received IBM's "Most Distinguished Inventor Award," and was recognized as IBM's "Top Inventor." As a member of the senior technical staff and the prestigious IBM Academy, John led an intellectual asset team that spearheaded efforts to produce and manage the development of IP. Eventually known as "The IBM Patent Factory," this select group supported the division that increased IBM's annual licensing revenue from $30 million in 1992 to more than $1 billion in 1997 and every year thereafter. John holds a BSEE, an MSEE, and a BA degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont. Additionally, John is a member of the Advisory Board for Color Kinetics.
