Delfigo Security Files US Provisional Patent Application for Visual ...

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 21, 2011

Delfigo Security , the pioneer in intelligent authentication solutions, filed for United States Patent protection (US Serial No: 61/490924) on May 27, 2011 for a visual authentication and authorization method for mobile devices. This new visual approach to authentication combines a simple to use four key color palette that natively embeds on mobile platforms, with Delfigo's proven keystroke biometric and device ID technology. The result is an effective balance between user experience and effective security.

"Mobile platforms - iPhone, Android, Blackberry - are rapidly becoming the primary device for everyday access to social media, banking, commerce, shopping, and personal entertainment. Having a simple and convenient way to authenticate on the go matters to mobile users." said Delfigo's CEO Ralph A. Rodriguez . "The data shows users want safety and security, but convenience is of primary importance. The visual interface makes it easy to quickly input a four color pin. Users avoid the frustration of trying to type difficult passwords on tiny smartphone keyboards or wasting time waiting for an SMS message."

Delfigo continues to make simple even simpler, providing novel means for users to comfortably engage in mobile security. An easy to use visual interface that combines with cost effective, secure biometric and device elements pushes authentication beyond the weakness of username and password, and the frustration of cumbersome tokens. The market requires more than a lowest common denominator approach aimed at commercially satisfactory security and avoidance of liability. The market requires a commitment to user experience, ease of integration and security that customers can rely upon.

Godly Powers: A Mystical US Patent Application « The Intellogist Blog

On the surface, US application 11/161,345 looks unassuming. A quick keyword search on Google Patents  retrieves a rather dull looking cover page, without any images to illustrate the insanity hidden within the text.  The publication number for the published US patent application is US2007/0035812 A1, and the inventor/assignee Christopher Anthony Roller has titled the invention “Godly Powers.”

Christopher Anthony Roller is a godly entity. “Granters” had been given my powers (acquired my powers) (via God probably). These “granters” have been receiving financial gain from godly powers. These “granters” may be using their powers without morals. Chris Roller wants exclusive right to the ethical use and financial gain in the use of godly powers on planet Earth. The design of godly-products have no constraints, just like any other invention, but the ethnic consideration of it’s use will likely be based on a majority vote of a group, similar to law creation. The commission I require could range from 0-100% of product price, depending on the product’s value and use.

There’s a federal court case against David Copperfield?!  I just had to read more.  It was like reading the first chapter of a book; I couldn’t stop at the cliffhanger.  Luckily, this saga is freely accessible via the public PAIR portal .  Just visit the portal, prove your humanity by typing the verification code, search for Application Number 11161345, and you’re there.

First of all, to the patent examiner Tod Van Roy who had to handle this application: I salute you, sir. Now, let’s look at the Image File Wrapper and some sample quotes from the documents of this one-of-a-kind case:

3/17/08- Non-Final Rejection, page 7 of PDF- “The specification has not described how one of ordinary skill in the art could make or use the claimed godly powers.” 6/09/2008 - Applicant Arguments/Remarks Made in an Amendment, page 2 of PDF- “Like software, godly powers is a method, and affects a machine.  Like business methods, godly powers produces a useful, concrete, and tangible result, and that should be all that’s needed for statutory material.” 7/14/2008 –  Miscellaneous Incoming Letter (a copy of the David Copperfield lawsuit), page 3 of PDF in cliff notes- You just have to see this for yourself:

This is truly entertaining.

It appears to be a sarcastic patent application. The way it is worded (…God, probably) seems to indicate that the filer doesn’t fully believe in his powers, but wishes to patent them all the same.
