M·CAM, Inc. releases Patently Obvious® on Progressive’s U.S. Patent No. 7,124,088

Date:  Mon, 2011-05-16

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – May 16, 2011 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on the patent holdings of Progressive Corporation listed in Progressive Casualty Insurance Company v. Allstate Insurance Company et. al.

On January 12, 2011, Progressive Casualty Insurance Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against a group of its competitors. The suit claims that Allstate, Liberty Mutual and Safeco have all infringed on Progressive’s U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,124,088 (hereafter ”˜088) and 6,064,970. The patents in question describe and protect an online insurance policy system and vehicle monitoring system. Two weeks after the lawsuit was filed using patent ”˜088, a continuation of this patent 7,877,269 (US ”˜269) was granted to Progressive, containing largely similar claims.

Using the M·CAM DOORS™ analytic platform, an intellectual property analysis of Progressive’s ”˜088 patent was conducted in order to understand its strength and defensibility in the face of precedent commercial products, prior art, and concurrent innovation. The innovation space surrounding the ”˜088 patent and its patent family members was examined to determine which patent(s) may provide alternatives to or alter the value of Progressive’s properties.

The question stands: are Progressive’s infringement claims valid, or will potential weaknesses in its asserted patents backfire and injure Progressive’s portfolio?

Samoa healers get world recognition for anti-AIDS compound

Date:  Wed, 2011-03-23

APIA, Samoa March 23, 2011 – Traditional healers of Samoa were recently acknowledged in a benefit-sharing agreement concerning the development of prostratin, an anti-AIDS compound derived from the Samoan native mamale tree.

Prostratin forces the HIV out of reservoirs in the body, thus allowing anti-retroviral drugs to attack it.

The bark of the mamala has been used by traditional healers to treat hepatitis, among other medicinal uses of the tree. This traditional knowledge guided researchers in their search for valuable therapeutic compounds.

Reportedly, revenues from the development of prostratin will be shared with the village where the compound was found and with the families of the healers who helped discover it.

Revenues will also be applied to further HIV/AIDS research. It is also proposed to license the prostratin research to drug makers so that the resultant drugs are made available to developing countries for free, at cost, or at a nominal profit.

Global Innovation Commons Releases The Nuclear Reactor Cooling Commons

Date:  Wed, 2011-03-16

The Global Innovation Commons released a compilation of open source innovations in response to the nuclear crisis currently occurring in Japan.

From The Global Innovation Commons: On March 11 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake occurred near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. Not only did the earthquake produce a tsunami which struck the port city, but it has also caused a nuclear crisis for the country.

By March 13, cooling of the nuclear reactors at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power station had begun to fail. When the initial earthquake hit, there was an immediate power outage causing the cooling systems to fail. The emergency diesel power generation system then began spraying the reactors with coolant, however, the emergency generator stopped when the tsunami hit the plant. A third and final safety system, converting steam traveling through pipes into water, turned on but the rods failed to cool down. As the reactors heated up they created steam and pressure which caused cracks in the reactors’ suppression chambers which contain radioactive water.

The combination of the radioactive water and hydrogen caused the explosions at the plant. Officials were forced to flood the No. 1 reactor at the plant with seawater after an explosion caused by hydrogen tore the outer wall and roof off the building housing the reactor. Shortly after, the No. 3 reactor began facing the same problems which forced the authorities to release vapor from the building in an attempt to lower pressure inside the reactor. However, the attempt was unsuccessful and eventually the reactor also exploded. The following day showed few signs of improvement with engineers struggling to cool the No. 2 reactor as well as fight fires at the No. 4 reactor.

All of the events caused radiation levels at the Fukshima Prefecture to reach dangerous and illegal levels. While radiation levels fluctuated back down below dangerous, there was a mandatory evacuation and radiation check of all people within 20 kilometers the plant.

We at The Global Innovation Commons honor those in Japan. We believe that open source solutions could provide assistance to the nuclear plants which have been affected by this disaster. We have compiled a list of all patent disclosures and open source technology which could best aid emergency crews in cooling down the nuclear power plants. The sets include cooling systems utilizing water, gas, liquid metals or molten salt as well as safety systems including reactor protection systems, emergency core cooling systems, and containment systems.

Global Innovation Commons Releases Japan Earthquake Response

Date:  Fri, 2011-03-11

March 11, 2011- The Global Innovation commons released a compilation of open source innovations in response to the earthquake and tsunami which hit the Pacific Ocean.

From The Global Innovation Commons: “A magnitude 8.9 earthquake occurred near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. The earthquake produced a tsunami which struck the port city of Sendai. Japan’s television network showed a massive surge of debris-filled water sweeping away buildings, cars and ships and reaching far inland. It has been reported that the tsunami, spawned by the largest earthquake in Japan’s history, produced over 30 foot waves, sweeping away boats, cars, homes, and people. Flooding has devastated most of the Japanese north eastern coast.

A tsunami warning was also extended across the Pacific to North and South America. Coastal areas in the Philippines and other parts of the Pacific were also evacuated ahead of the tsunami’s expected arrival.

We at The Global Innovation Commons believe that open source solutions could provide assistance to the areas that have been affected by this natural disaster. As an initial step, in an effort to raise global awareness and help prevent future loss of lives, we are making available a list of all patent disclosures and open source technology which could best aid major needs in the region. We ask anyone with knowledge or experience in the field of tsunami research and flood relief to join our discussion.

In the “Flood Relief” set is technology regarding, hydroelectric power, road reconstruction, shelter and building techniques, solar power, water filtration, and potable water.

In the “Tsunami Warning Systems” set is patented tsunami warning technology with the goal of bringing attention to any open source innovation.”

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – February 24, 2011 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on the patent holdings of Solannex highlighted in Solannex, Inc. v. MiaSolé, Inc.

On January 11, 2011 Solannex, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against MiaSolé, Inc. The asserted patent, U.S 7,635,810 (hereafter ”˜810), claims an interconnected grid structure for integrated solar arrays.
