Intellectual Property

As of the date of this Annual Report, our (in particular, Promethean’s) intellectual property portfolio includes 19 granted and 6 pending patents. Many of our patents have been filed in multiple countries including the U. S., U. K. and Europe. These patents cover various aspects of our hardware and software systems relevant to the K-12 education and business areas. For example, Promethean has a number of design patents in the U. S. and foreign jurisdictions that cover the industrial design and user interfaces for its IFPDs. Furthermore, Promethean has pending and registered utility patents that cover a variety of hardware and software features such as touch input routing between the IFPD operating system and one or more applications running on the IFPD, systems and methods of mirroring multiple computing devices on an IFPD where the computing devices are connected via different local and wide area networks, system and methods for capturing and displaying annotations and overlays on an IFPD, systems and methods for adjusting user interfaces on the IFPD based on one or more characteristics of the user, and Promethean’s ActivSync USB relay that allows multiple computer devices to connect to an IFPD via USB connections where one computing device can talk directly to another connected computing device over the USB connection.

We rely on a combination of trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark laws, a variety of contractual arrangements, such as license agreements, assignment agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and confidentiality procedures and technical measures to gain rights to and protect the intellectual property used in our business. We actively pursue registration of our patents, trademarks, logos, service marks, and domain names in the U. S. and in other key foreign jurisdictions.

Certain of our products, such as the Mobile Application, ActivPanel Software, Web Portal and Screen Share, use “open source” software that we license from third parties. Open-source software is made available to the general public on an “as-is” basis under the terms of a non-negotiable license. Open-source software is generally freely accessible, usable and modifiable. Certain
