Code Server Licensing
Presently, we are looking for somebody to develop a commercial application of the Code Server for us. This would involve licensing the patent(s). Key interests lie with major operating system developers, as well as investors in emerging Web technologies such as ASP who can see value in the design. If you are interested in our idea, or know of someone who is, by all means contact us. We believe that several companies may be already infringing upon the patents, and are currently researching the possibility of legal action and examining their operation. The competition page remains incomplete until we know enough to make substantial accusations.
