M·CAM, Inc. releases Patently Obvious™ on the Intellectual Property of Dot Hill Systems and CommVault Systems

M·CAM, Inc. releases Patently Obvious™ on the Intellectual Property of Dot Hill Systems and CommVault Systems

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – October 6, 2010 –– M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious™ report today on the patent holdings of Dot Hill Systems and CommVault Systems. M&A activity in the technology sector continues to be white–hot in the wake of Hewlett–Packard’s acquisition of ArcSight and 3PAR. As in previous weeks, news of imminent rollups in the storage and security sectors has driven further speculation into the identity of the next impending targets.

One potential acquisition target which has been in the news is CommVault Systems (NASDAQ: CVLT). A spinoff from AT&T’s Bell Labs, CommVault, like 3PAR and Isilon Systems, specializes in data and storage management software. CommVault fits the profile of a potential acquisition target for information technology giants such as HP, Dell, or Oracle; Dell, especially, is incentivized to pursue acquisitions in the wake of its failed bid for 3PAR opposite Hewlett–Packard.

CommVault isn’t the only potential acquisition target, however. In fact, some of the more interesting targets haven’t yet popped up on the radars of the major tech sector analysts and forecasters. One of these companies is Dot Hill Systems (NASDAQ: HILL). M·CAM identified both CommVault and Dot Hill Systems, among others, though its proprietary analytical processes. Which entity seems to be a better acquisition target in today’s market, the “obvious” choice or the dark horse candidate? An analysis of each company’s IP is in order to better address this question.

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.

M·CAM, Inc. is a global, full–service intellectual property and rights (IP&R) and intangible asset financial services firm. We provide the technical and financial systems that allow public and private markets to use IP&R and IA for regulated transactions in banking, securities, insurance, and public innovation investment and technology procurement. From our pioneering work in creating the world’s first standards–based innovation collateralization financial products for banking and securities to our work in grassroots innovator enablement and patent quality assurance programs, M·CAM provides the mechanism to balance the interests of public and commercial sectors to support and build thriving economies.

M·CAM, Inc. releases Patently Obvious™ on the Intellectual Property of Visa, Inc.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – September 29, 2010 –– M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious™ report today on the patent holdings of Visa, Inc. With the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act recently signed into law on July 21, 2010, major credit card companies have found themselves the recipients of new financial regulatory restrictions due to the Durbin amendment.

This amendment allows the Federal Reserve to issue rules to control the interchange fees credit card companies charge merchants for each transaction. Promulgated from the idea that the margin between the revenues generated by the fees unfairly exceeds the cost incurred to process these transactions, the arguments behind the Durbin amendment suggests the regulation created savings will give merchants opportunities to expand employment as well as pass savings to consumers.

Conversely, the legislation possibly presents both revenue as well as brand value challenges to companies like Visa at a time when the public image towards banking institutions, including credit card companies, are low. Couple this with the growth of alternate payment networks like PayPal, GoogleCheckout, Apple and a likely entry by Facebook and we can be sure that credit and debit card marketplace will be a far more challenging environment, particularly for Visa as the largest card processor with 62 billion Transactions processed in 2009.

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.

M·CAM, Inc. is a global, full–service intellectual property and rights (IP&R) and intangible asset financial services firm.
