ThinkFire Secures License for DigitalContainers

IPFrontline.com  

WARREN, NJ, - November 13, 2006 – ThinkFire, a leading intellectual property services firm, has successfully represented DigitalContainers Corp. in an agreement for use of the patents and know-how covering its valuable document security invention. The agreement provides significant advantage to SiteScape (http://www.sitescape.com), a leading teamware, document management and workflow provider.

DigitalContainers' technology enables any digital material, including video, books, music, pictures, feature length films and documents, to be placed in a "container" which can be sent electronically to any recipient as an e-commerce object, permitting safe distribution of the material. The DigitalContainers inventions are covered by some fundamental patents and provide important controls for SiteScape documents in all phases of update.

"This technology will provide the SiteScape customer with complete document protection and compliance with many government standards and privacy initiatives," said Brian Hays, CEO and Chairman of the Board, SiteScape.

Current document management products permit a person who is authorized to update a particular document to retrieve it from the management system to bring it to her desktop, make updates and modifications (including keeping a local copy) and then post the new materials back into the document management system. The DigitalContainers' technology (http://www.digitalcontainers.com/) in combination with SiteScape's Forum product provides important controls for documents in all phases of the update process. DigitalContainers' technology provides SiteScape and its Forum product with:

  • A digital container packager to "containerize" a document

  • Control of the local update process, preventing a copy from being stored locally

  • Return of the updated document to the Forum system or sending it to another user who will have to authenticate herself through the Forum controls before being granted access to the document

  • Real-time control over the document

  • Collaboration on large files

The volume of valuable and sensitive information, coupled with the easy and convenient methods for sharing files, have driven new mandates for protection and privacy. Requirements such as HIPPA (healthcare), Sarbanes-Oxley, FISMA and GISRA are just a few of the requirements now being placed on enterprise IT organizations. Significant increases in globalization and outsourcing also make the need for document security extremely timely.

"Technology licensing allows companies to quickly incorporate leading edge technology and expand their product reach," stated Kathie Lusardi, Vice President, Licensing for ThinkFire, who negotiated the license agreement. "The DigitalContainers inventions and know-how will enable SiteScape to provide significant security and distribution advantages without additional research and development costs."
