Inventor Secures Landmark Search Engine
Patent:
(PRWEB via PR Web Direct) May 17, 2005 -- As search engine
patent wars have escalated, an independent inventor from
Ohio has been advancing the state of the art and filing
dozens of patnet applications since 1999 regarding his
discoveries and technologies. Earlier today the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 6,895,430
(the '430 patent) to Eric Schneider, an Ohio inventor,
for a Method and Apparatus for Integrating Resolution
Services, Registration Services and Search Services online,
making it the sixth patent of a growing portfolio of Internet-related
patents received by Schneider.

According to Schneider, "The burden has been on the
individual to first visit a domain name registration service
and initiate a request to find available domain names.
The patent portfolio changes this by providing protection
of core technologies developed to assist users with determining
domain name availability in response to the initiation
of request types other than that of a registration request
or availability request."
For example, one aspect of the '430 patent specifies receiving
keyword input for a search engine and in response providing
both online search engine results of Web pages, and in
addition, providing one or more domain names that may
be available for registration relating to those keywords.
According to Associate Director of NorTech, the Northeast
Ohio Technology Coalition, "After trying it, I have
found Mr. Schneider's technology promising and can immediately
see how its use saves steps making it easier to find available
domain names while at the same time adding value to search
engine results."
"We are currently in discussions to license the technology
to a number of companies," said Schneider. "The
issuance of the '430 patent provides an opportunity to
invite interested searchengine providers and domain name
registration providers to learn more about how this technology
can help their online business and their customers."
Publications from companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Lucent,
Sprint, Unisys, Hitachi, NEC, Napster, Roxio, Interland,
SnapNames, Register.com, Yodlee.com, AirClic, Metro One
Telecommunications, Sharewave, Search Mechanics and others
have cited Schneider's patents.
Ohio inventor develops new technology to combine the
power of Internet search engines with domain name registration
services.
