Art,
Given that you've held steadfast to NCDRs claim on Sarnoff's codec, I decided to do some snooping.
I've been corresponding with Sarnoff, and here's what their representative says about the relationship:
--------------------------- Net Command Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ BB: NCDR),
formerly Corsaire, Inc., has signed a licensing agreement with consumer
electronics pioneer Sarnoff Corporation for the exclusive use of a
software version of Sarnoff's MPEG4 video compression CODEC in Net Command
Tech (NCT) software products in the areas of video email,
videoconferencing and live real-time video broadcast.
I guess you forgot to mention that the agreement does NOT cover hardware solutions, nor does it cover all replay applications, just video email and videoconferencing. So it isn't as broad as claimed.
However, I must admit that you were partially correct.
I imagine we'll see a press release soon enough on this.
So, lets update your record:
1. You say StockMaker was not compensated and they are.
2. You say that software isn't patented, and it is in fact one of the
hottest patented areas.
3. You say NCDR has exclusive use of Sarnoff's MP4 CODEC and that's partially true. |
