Title: ParkerVision Receives Third D2D Patent
Date: 5/11/2000; Publication: PR Newswire;
Technology Enables Robust Signal Reception While Reducing Required Bandwidth
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 11 /PRNewswire/ –
ParkerVision, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRKR) reported it has received its third Direct2Data(TM)
(D2D)(TM) technology patent from the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
U.S. Patent 6,061,555 covers an application of the company’s D2D direct
conversion receiver and transmitter technology using its unique system architecture
to enable robust signal reception in environments that contain jamming signals.
The technology achieves enhanced signal reception by transmitting multiple redundant
information frequency spectrums. According to the patent, the spectrums can be
spaced close together, thereby reducing communication bandwidth requirements.
The company’s D2D receiver technology allows accurate and reliable receipt
of the spectrums, even when spaced close together.
“We are pleased to have received our third D2D U.S. patent. With many more
in the pipeline, this continues the first wave of D2D patents being issued,” said
Rob Sterne, a director of the company and ParkerVision’s outside patent
counsel at the law firm Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, P.L.L.C. “Initially,
we had to protect these fundamental breakthroughs using trade secret protection
because the patents were pending and no patents had issued. With the issuance
of a patent, however, we can fully disclose everything contained in the patent
document to potential customers, strategic partners, and investors, which should
facilitate the commercialization of the technology which we began last year.”
Patent 555 contains a total of 194 claims and cites over 600 references. It is
part of ParkerVision’s overall intellectual property strategy, which includes
over 50 other patents pending. The company continues to pursue the filing and
protection of its patents in the United States and abroad.
ParkerVision, headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, designs, develops and manufactures
communication technology platforms and products for the wireless and video industries.Additional
