Ameranth Significantly Expands Enforcement of Its Patented 21st Century Communications(TM) Web/Wireless Data/Display Synchronization Inventions

The explosive growth of the use of smart phones, social/affinity group networking, wireless networks, payment processing and mobile wallets on/via smart phones, cloud based computing, and related technologies now make the use and licensing of Ameranth's patents essential to achieve a totally synchronized hospitality system, i.e., the 21st Century Communications(TM) system - conceived/invented in September 1998 by Ameranth's visionary inventors.

Modern hospitality information research systems performing functions just as online/mobile ordering, hotel/restaurant reservations, event ticketing, payment processing/mobile wallets on smart phones, frequency, voice integration and related functionality require the use of Ameranth's patented inventions for synchronized operations.

"Our licensing program is active and available at reasonable licensing rates to the many hospitality innovation companies which need patent licenses. But, as these new suits confirm, we are fully prepared and determined to enforce our patents against infringers to protect the value of our shareholders' intellectual property," stated Vern Yates, Ameranth's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are in the extreme confident of the validity of our patents and we are determined to defeat all challenges to the contrary. Our licenses provide assurance that the companies and their clients and partners practicing Ameranth's inventions have the patent coverage that they need - from this point forward," added Yates.

The adoption of Ameranth's research

The adoption of Ameranth's research by industry leaders and the wide acclaim received by Ameranth for its technological innovations are just some of the many confirmations of the breakthrough aspects of Ameranth's inventions.
