UK-based Synchronica plc announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted patent 7808511 “Method and system for streaming documents, E-Mail attachments and maps to wireless devices”[1]. The patent was acquired by Synchronica with the purchase of iseemedia and complements an existing patent which was already granted by authorities in China.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica plc, comments, “Whilst these patents add to the company’s intellectual property assets, as a developer of products that are based principally on open industry standards, Synchronica does not intend to participate in the patent wars that have dogged the sector. However, securing a US patent is another milestone for Synchronica and protects our strategic position.”
