Micoy To Receive Core Utility Patent
February 28, 2005 |
ALL 57 CLAIMS AWARDED!
Des Moines, IA – Micoy, the world’s only provider of
three-dimensional immersive video announced today that it has received a Notice of Allowability for its core utility patent from the U.S. Patent Office.
Acknowledging the many unique attributes of Micoy technology, the patent office has allowed all 57 claims in this first of several pending patents. Being awarded all claims is a very rare occurrence with modern, complex patent applications, especially when considering such a broad scope of individual claims.
“This patent fully protects all aspects of the Micoy Camera System, which enables the only known method of capturing spherical stereoscopic video”, said Trent Grover, Micoy
Chief Technology Officer. “Most importantly, the patent protects the underlying methods upon which our camera systems are based, including the techniques we use to transform large amounts of 2D video data into unified, immersive 3D video”.
Micoy CEO, Joe Stevens, said “Lifelike immersive experiences will change everything from our entertainment to how we learn—even our home theaters will eventually be immersive. We are excited to receive such overwhelming recognition from the patent office as to the uniqueness of Micoy Technology, which is a direct testament to our innovative engineering team”.
