Teleshuttle collaborates with partner
companies to develop the innovations of founder Richard Reisman. These
generally relate to powerful interactive tools and media for human
communication, collaboration, culture, and commerce.
Teleshuttle has multiple patent portfolios in development,
and over 100 companies have licensed one or more of these
patents. Areas of activity include:
-
FairPay -
A radical approach to monetizing digital
offerings in the context of an ongoing relationship. FairPay is based on
customer dialogs about value, and develops a buyer reputation based on Internet feedback, to
go beyond "freemium," to a far more efficient and dynamically adaptive hybrid of free and paid
offerings.
The
first commercial use of FairPay was announced by
ennovent on 9/14/11.
- CoTV™
-
Coactive
TV
– provides
a power assist for the growing trend toward simultaneous, or “coactive,” use of
TV and the Web. CoTV™ creates a powerful new compound medium that fully maintains the best of both
(and works with ordinary TVs and PCs/tablets/phones as companion devices)
– while riding the trend toward user-centered media multitasking in
the wireless, networked home. The first Reisman CoTV-related patents issued
3/1/11 and 7/26/11.
- Search and the Social Web
and Semantic Web (Sold) - A portfolio including
four
patents issued in 2005-2008, with
others pending. Sold 7/6/09 to
RPX Corporation, the first defensive
patent aggregator.
- Internet push distribution and software
update (Sold) - In the early 1990s, Teleshuttle developed a patent portfolio that
was licensed to BTG International for commercialization. This portfolio includes
eight patents awarded in 1997-2010. BTG's
licensing efforts led to patent infringement suits against Microsoft and Apple. On 3/31/06, BTG announced the sale of these patent rights for $35 million,
plus a share of future profits, and that BTG and Teleshuttle would no longer pursue those
suits. These patents are now controlled by Intellectual Ventures.
- Other patent portfolios in development
relate to such areas as data exchange for product usage
data and ratings (aspects of "The Internet of Things"), digital media storage management, and The Idea Adoption Agency
(communities/marketplaces for open, collaborative development of intellectual property,
and advanced methods for collaboration and reputation management).
Consulting clients have included News Corporation/TVGuide,
Dow Jones/Telerate, Euro RSCG/MVBMS, HealthScout/RxRemedy, AppliedTheory Communications,
and
BTG International, as well as Intellectual Ventures, RPX
Corporation, and other prominent companies in the
Intellectual Property space.
Teleshuttle was founded by Richard Reisman in the early 1990s as an
innovative online software/service provider. Reisman is an innovator and thought
leader, advancing powerful interactive tools/media for human communication,
collaboration, culture, and commerce since long before the Web. His media experience includes developing and marketing
CoTV™ at Teleshuttle, a senior management role at HealthScout.com,
leading the design and development of News Corp's original TVGuide Online
service through market testing in the early '90s, managing development for Baseline
(since acquired by The New York Times), and very early involvements in hypermedia, interactive
graphics, and online communities. Reisman has 20 patents and dozens more
pending. See Bio for
additional background. |
