Motive Television’s application for a patent around datacasting has been accepted by the United States patent examiner.
The pay-TV enabler has been told that patent application Patent Number 14/358960 entitled “Methods for Transmitting and Receiving Audiovisual Content” will be registered once the necessary paperwork has been completed.
The patent covers methods of improving the Company’s datacasting technology to allow the use of multiple transmissions of content to enhance the viewer or subscriber’s service and experience.
Motive CEO Leonard Fertig said: “Motive’s second patent in the United States protects the value of our intellectual property and technology platform, while recognising the unique advantages we provide to the TV industry. Motive’s datacasting technology has been a leader in providing digital terrestrial and satellite delivery of video-on-demand and catch-up television since 2010.”
Datacasting technology has been patented by Motive since 2008 and this particular patent subsequently developed datacasting with enhanced capabilities. Datacasting is a key component of Motive’s Content Express platform enabling the delivery of non-linear content services.
