PivX Solutions Files For Patent Protection And Discloses New Inventions

Newport Beach, CA – PivX Solutions, Inc., a vendor of Windows intrusion prevention software, announced the filing of a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in which the company discloses new inventions as well as seeks patent protection for key aspects of its PreEmpt 2.0 intrusion prevention security product for Windows computers.

"Filing for patent protection is a necessary step in the growth of any business that owns intellectual property.” said Jason Coombs, CEO of PivX Solutions. "Whenever we examine in forensic detail the actions and thoughts a creative person produces, be it in the realm of purely artistic creative expression or in a field of technological innovation, we find specific ways in which that person's creativity was driven by measurable units of tangible progress that further inspired more creative effort. The PivX creative staff was remarkably creative and innovative in the face of business difficulties. This provisional patent application reveals just how novel and rewarding the company's work has been."

The title of the provisional patent application, filed on July 25, 2006 reads as follows:

• "A System or Method of Creating Cryptographic Command or Control Channels with Layers of Digital Signature Authentication or Verification of Digital Communications Enabling Remote Control Over, or Distribution of Arbitrary Reprogramming or Reconfiguration Instructions to, One or More General Purpose Programmable Electronic Devices" and its inventors are Oliver Lavery and Michael Bringle, et al.
• PivX released version 2.0 of its PreEmpt software product on July 25, 2005 and since then the product has been enhanced and improved substantially. While working to enhance PreEmpt and integrate the company's PreView product and its Threat Focus security intelligence and intrusion prevention forensic service, the company's creative staff made several innovative discoveries that are now the subject of a pending patent.
• "Submitting a provisional application for a patent is one of the most substantial actions that a creative person can take during the creative process to transform intellectual effort into tangible value." said Mr. Coombs. "The patent office expressly allows a provisional patent applicant to designate their inventions as PATENT PENDING from the date of the provisional filing, and this fact alone, frankly, is a source of much creative inspiration."
