About this Blog

As enterprise supply chains and consumer demand chains have beome globalized, they continue to inefficiently share information “one-up/one-down”. Profound "bullwhip effects" in the chains cause managers to scramble with inventory shortages and consumers attempting to understand product recalls, especially food safety recalls. Add to this the increasing usage of personal mobile devices by managers and consumers seeking real-time information about products, materials and ingredient sources. The popularity of mobile devices with consumers is inexorably tugging at enterprise IT departments to shifting to apps and services. But both consumer and enterprise data is a proprietary asset that must be selectively shared to be efficiently shared.

Pardalis announces impending issuance of second New Zealand patent

Stillwater, Okla., U.S., January 12, 2009 - Pardalis, Inc. announced today that a Notice of Acceptance was issued on October 22, 2008 by the Commonwealth of New Zealand for a second Common Point AuthoringTM system patent.

The New Zealand Notice of Acceptance for Patent Application No. 546907 covers the essential claims as previously issued to Pardalis by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for US Patent #7,136,869. The US '869 patent is the second US issued patent for the Common Point AuthoringTM system.

"I just received the Notice of Acceptance of the patent, Common Point Authoring System for Tracking and Authenticating Objects in a Distribution Chain," said Steve Holcombe, Pardalis' CEO. "This is the first international issuance of Pardalis’ second U.S. patent. New Zealand was the first country outside of the U.S. to issue on Pardalis’ first patent, US Patent #6,671,696. This bodes well for continued success of Pardalis’ global IP strategy."

"The Company's patent attorney, James Graziano of Patton & Boggs, is very successfully executing a global IP strategy to obtain protections outside of the United States," Holcombe said. "Filings relevant to Pardalis’ U.S. issued patents are also being zealously pursued under the Patent Cooperation Treaty in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Japan, and Mexico."
