SANTA CRUZ, CA - GraphOn Corporation, a leader in remote access technology and developer of cloud application delivery solutions, announced in a press release that it has entered into a strategic alliance with ipCapital Group Inc. (ipCG), the leading Intellectual Property (IP) strategy firm, to deploy a range of expert invention and IP tactics specifically aimed at accelerating the strategic expansion of the company’s valuable IP portfolio.
“We are delighted to be taking advantage of ipCG’s proprietary expert tools and techniques for invention, IP strengthening, and licensing,” stated Bob Dilworth, chief executive officer of GraphOn.
“Based on the distinguished work we have already seen, we fully expect that ipCG’s continued participation will lead to achievement of the highest level of success and value creation for the company.”
Under the agreement, ipCG will lead the execution of GraphOn’s IP strategy, collaborating closely with GraphOn’s executive management, engineers, designers, and patent counsel in an efficient team-based approach.
“I have worked in the computing industry my whole life, and I was recently awakened with what ‘cloud computing’ could really become,” stated John Cronin, managing director and chairman, ipCapital Group Inc.
“Most of us think cloud computing means off-line storage for data files, such as music, video, and raw data. When I understood that GraphOn will be creating fundamental technology and IP building blocks for cloud access at any time to data and applications rendered on any device regardless of operating system, I became excited about what GraphOn called real cloud computing. Our analysis showed that GraphOn has the ability to be a significant force in this IP space, so I wanted to become involved. I am deploying the best people and expert tools at my disposal to execute the company’s comprehensive IP strategy. With GraphOn’s IP landscape as our guide, we know exactly where to invent in ways that we anticipate will create significant future value.”
Founded in 1996, GraphOn Corporation is a publicly traded company headquartered in Santa Cruz, California. The company is an innovator of cost-effective, advanced solutions that help customers access applications from anywhere.
ipCapital Group has been serving clients that range from early stage to Fortune 500 since 1998.
