CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – September 16, 2011 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on Intellectual Ventures v. Canon et al

Canon and Olympus hold a substantial amount of precedent innovation impacting the nine patents that have been asserted against them recently by Intellectual Ventures. In addition, Intellectual Ventures’ investors hold prior art and precedent innovation which, if disclosed, could vastly alter the enforceability of IV’s patents in suit.

M·CAM’s Patently Obvious® is a weekly report providing visibility into potentially unconsidered alternatives, including art in the public domain, to patent holdings across a variety of technology areas.
