Didn't they already claim they had patents? Don't you usually get the patent issued, then release the product. They have a product, but, want to get a patent for it, retroactively? Sounds fishy to me...

Kim, is IMON a good buy at these levels?

IMON must be desperate for news releases to keep the price up - The news release today looks like a recycled version of one from 3 months ago. Here's the news release from CALP on november 20 ImaginOn Receives Patent Approval for Proprietary Internet Technology PR Newswire - November 20, 1998 08:40 GREER, S.C., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- California Pro Sports, Inc., (Nasdaq: CALP) announced today that ImaginOn, Inc. received notification that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has allowed all 34 claims contained in a patent application for its "Method and Apparatus for Database Transformation and Adaptive Playback", by ImaginOn principals David M. Schwartz and Leonard W. Kain. This new invention is the core of ImaginOn's proprietary technology forming the basis for its three software products: WorldCities 2000, WebZinger and sellONstream. Fundamentally, the newly patented invention transforms data from a spatial domain, where objects are arranged in space geometrically, to a temporal domain, where objects are arranged in time, sequentially. This presents an efficient way to automatically gather a wide range of data, of different types, from far flung chaotic sources, and then process and present it in real time. From a user's perspective, ImaginOn's invention means access and viewing from vast networks like the World Wide Web will become easier and faster. "Using ImaginOn technology, interactive digital television will be able to seamlessly combine computer data with entertainment content," said ImaginOn's President, David M. Schwartz. "Personal computers can be freed of complex operating systems and become simple to use information appliances. Len and I think ImaginOn technology has the potential to change every aspect of the emerging digital world for the better and we hope our first three applications will lead the way."
