RESTON, Va., Nov. 4, 2005/Satnews Daily/ — Mobile Satellite Ventures (MSV) announced on Thursday that it had reached an agreement with Donald E. Stout to lead MSV's patent licensing and enforcement efforts.
MSV said Stout brings to MSV an extensive legal and business experience in the management and enforcement of patents and is the founder and chief strategist of NTP. Stout prepared the original NTP patents and has managed NTP's successful patent litigation strategy. Stout will report directly to Alexander Good, vice chairman and CEO of MSV.
Stout said MSV has a substantial and growing portfolio of issued and pending patent applications on a multitude of key Ancillary Terrestrial Component (ATC) technologies. “My efforts will be directed toward securing the broadest and most comprehensive coverage possible from that portfolio and ensuring a proactive approach to protect rigorously these substantial assets,” he said.
MSV currently holds over 800 issued and 500 additional published ATC patent claims to date. These 1300 issued and published claims span the breadth of all ATC network features, functions and system components (including the satellite, terrestrial, satellite gateways and end user equipment). MSV has filed over 100 additional patent applications in the U.S. alone since 2001. Patent filings are in place not only in the U.S. but also in Europe, Canada, Mexico, Australia and elsewhere.
