MVCONNECT, LLC (MVTRAC), Digital Recognition Network, Inc. (DRN) and Vigilant Video (Vigilant) Announce a Transaction Related to a License of MVTRAC’s Historical Tracking Patent

For Immediate Release

Palatine, IL (February, 1 2012) MVTRAC, a premier provider of cradle-to-grave location and recovery solutions and home of the neural ALPR system called The Intelligent Data Network™, is pleased to announce a transaction between MVTRAC, DRN and Vigilant, involving a license of MVTRAC’s ALPR historical tracking patent. The undisclosed terms of the transaction conclude all litigation between the parties.

 

”We are pleased to announce DRN and Vigilant Video as additions to our list of growing patent licensees.  The transaction brings increased enterprise value for all three companies, while allowing us all to focus on our business with less distractions,” explains Scott A. Jackson, Chief Executive Officer for MVTRAC. “MVTRAC’s intellectual property will be protected at all costs, so licensees such as DRN and Vigilant Video can grow their businesses knowing that anyone with a low cost camera and a computer cannot dip into their market share without the significant investment needed to achieve long term success.”

 

Expounding on the agreement with MVTRAC, Whitney Neve, VP of Brand & Corporate Development for DRN, commented that “DRN has collected and aggregated the largest known license plate recognition database with over 680 Million ALPR records. Such aggregation and maintenance comes at a great expense and effort in both human capital and equipment, and this transaction is intended to increase our enterprise value and protect our investment in growing our business.”

 

According to Luke Smith, MVTRAC’s Executive Vice President of Business Development, “We are the leader in ALPR, collecting millions more license plates and far more accurate license plates than any other company.  The transaction is a huge milestone for MVTRAC and our core values because we’ve spent millions of dollars on our intellectual property and The Intelligent Data Network™.  In completing this deal, MVTRAC, DRN and Vigilant have made a statement that they will work to harmonize the recovery industry, foster healthy competition, and protect their investments from the encroachment of unlicensed and often undercapitalized competitors.  Other companies with financial stability and long term staying power can demonstrate their own commitment to maintaining high industry standards by themselves becoming licensees.” Smith added, “Recovery agents and lenders should be wary of purchasing an ALPR system or historical data from companies not licensed with MVTRAC.  The cornerstone of ALPR is historical tracking, and Forwarding or Skip Locating companies who facilitate or purchase historical tracking data from unlicensed ALPR companies will expose their lender customers and recovery agents to liability for infringement.”
