Acacia's Patent Info
Acacia's licensing efforts are based on five patents, all of which cover basically the same thing:
patents #5,253,275, #5,550,863 and #6,002,720 are "open continuations" of patent #5,132,992, an "Audio and
Video Receiving and Transmission System," which was issued in July 1992. The fifth patent, #6,144, 702, is
described as a "division" of the '992 patent and was approved in November of 2000.
The '992 patent abstract reads as follows: "A system of distributing video and/or audio information employs digital signal processing to achieve high rates of data compression. The compressed and encoded audio and/or video information is sent over standard telephone, cable or satellite broadcast channels to a receiver specified by a subscriber of the service, preferably in less than real time, for later playback and optional recording on standard audio and/or video tape."
