TORONTO - (Business Wire)
YANGAROO Inc., (
TSX-V: YOO, OTC: YOOIF)
the industry's leading secure digital media distribution company, continues to make progress with its United Stated Patent Application #10/431,854 titled
“Content Distribution System and Method
”.
The Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has replied promptly to YANGAROO’s April 2008 filing and issued a non-final office action. This action is another step in the application review process towards the allowance of a patent application. The non-final office action will be reviewed by YANGAROO’s patent counsel and they will respond in due course, as they successfully have in all such previous office actions.
“We have been successful in having both the corresponding Canadian Patent #2,407,774 titled ‘Content Distribution System and Method’ and our U.S. patent #7,003,670 titled ‘Biometric Rights Management System’ granted. In contrast, our competitor, Destiny Media Technologies, has not received any patent grants," said John Heaven, President and CEO of YANGAROO. “We are confident this U.S. patent will be granted.”
