CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– ICAP Ocean Tomo, the intellectual property brokerage division of ICAP Plc (IAP.L), will offer for sale, a patent portfolio relating to social networking in a virtual space at its upcoming Live Auction Event March 25th in San Francisco. The portfolio contains three issued U.S. patents and three patent applications.
As the popularity of social networking continues to grow and reach new audiences, there is an increasing need for enhanced profile security.

This profile matching platform may also be utilized in virtual environments where users are entrusted with confidential information that can only be shared with those holding proper credentials. This technology also has applications in healthcare industries as digital medical record keeping becomes a standard practice.
“Managing the exchange of restricted information is extremely important in both business and government operations,” said ICAP Ocean Tomo’s Dean Becker. “This portfolio should be of interest to healthcare IT companies, insurance companies, healthcare providers, as well as those providing social networking platforms for personal and professional applications.”
“We spent a great deal of time considering how best to enhance the security and privacy of Internet exchanges of all types of confidential and private information,” said Dr. Jon Roberts, one of the inventors and Managing Member of Lot Owner ROBELIGHT, LLC. “We are pleased that the US Patent Office agreed with the novelty of our approach and rapidly allowed these patents.”
