Security is a field where the bleeding edge is causing many a concern

Security is a field where the bleeding edge is causing many a concern however the USPTO recognizes there are patents out there on locks on PDA's and other systems including single use platforms not presented in public companies or at =conferences where players are generally.

One has to consider what is going on. My thinking is the big players are trying to come up with alternatives to all the patents while buying existing companies that might have sought out real solutions.

The market is an alphabet soup of solutions, me toos and lots of empty claims that companies and banks are buying like what happened with recent banks and companies that thought stopping crime on one letter might protect them on another.

Online, the distance from the front door to the back door is milliseconds if that. Simply someone is going to wake up this year and look not at what the advertising says but at growth in the marketplace since the only two economic realities are income and consumers.

Some one business must break through and that company will be the one to watch and not the ones whose solutions are partial or not patented since everyone else will follow the leader then.

Thats what I think. Ciao now.

You bet, look to the small guy to be the innovator

It's true, the newest innovations in email and document security software tend to start small, because that's where the smart developers know they can make their mark...

See Essential Taceo, small company, big innovation.
