digiGO! — The Digital (R)Evolution™


  • SeamlessTV homepage MONKEYmedia, Inc. has announced that it plans to meet with many of the attendees at this month’s Digital Hollywood conference to resolve the fact that some may be in violation of patents in the Company’s broad-reaching portfolio.  Qualifying companies attending the events in Santa Monica, October 19 - 22, will be invited to become legitimate users, as others have, of the patented technologies through MONKEYmedia’s SeamlessTVPartner Program. The offered membership in the SeamlessTV Partner Program is an efficient and inexpensive way for companies to alleviate any concerns about past infringement of MONKEYmedia's patents which are essential to the practice of various industry-governed standards.  The SeamlessTV Partner Program makes licenses available to companies using MONKEYmedia's patented technology and methods for telescoping ads and interactive video experiences on DVD, Blu-ray, tru2way, set-top boxes, DVRs, smart TVs, mobile devices and the Internet. Attendees interested in private meetings with the MONKEYmedia licensing team while in the Los Angeles area should contact Elizabeth Crinejo at (512) 650-1080 x183 to schedule an appointment or stop by room #618 at Digital Hollywood for additional information.
