NeoMedia
Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NEOM), the industry’s innovator in global
mobile barcode solutions, has now reached it 100th IP
agreement in its ongoing patent licensing program.
“Reaching this milestone is a true testament to the strength of our IP
and the respect that those in the mobile industry have for patents,”
said NeoMedia CEO Laura Marriott. “As an operational company and a
patent owner, we have the unique opportunity to offer services to those
in the industry, encompassing our core IP, something few other providers
are able to offer. According to statistics released by Chetan Sharma
Consulting, in 2014, 24 percent of the patents granted by the USPTO were
mobile related.”

market continues to be the biggest market by revenue growing 21 percent
to almost $400B. “Mobile continues to be THE media channel for
brands and agencies to connect and engage with consumers,” added
Marriott.

agreement,” said David Berten, a Partner at Global IP Law Group, a firm
that has been representing NeoMedia in its licensing campaign. “The
company is committed to growing the implementation of QR Code
technology, and licensing use of the technology to others while
continuing to offer the industry’s most reliable product is one way to
do that.”
