We are beefing MEVIA intellectual property portfolio on all streaming fronts, now a new patent to cover our streaming technologies comes to join our ranks! We have three now covering streaming and a new one that is under development!
Obtaining content corresponding to plurality of multimedia items from a source in a first format, and performing that over a first TCP-IP socket of caching unit. Rendering a web page by a browser using the content, and generating a temporal sequence of screen captures of therendered web page, wherein each screen capture defines all the content of the web page at a given time, and adjacent screen captures illustrate a dynamic change of a portion of the content over time. Assembling the media stream using the temporal sequence of screen captures. Provide the assembled media stream to content provider for broadcast on broadcast media channel, and providing a second TCP/IP socket of the caching unit, a status of obtaining, generating, and assembling.
We will be adding more Intellectual Property for Mevia!! Stay tuned.
MEVIA is an innovative platform that connects “Cloud” or “Web” based apps to Broadcasting technologies and systems. MEVA is hence referred as Cloud to Cast, or Cloud to Cable. Web apps include google ads, instagram, facebook, twitter, and other social media platforms. Amplify your Reach® to mobile, web, Smart TVs, Cable TV, and Satellite
In TV Broadcasting, our MEVIA platform is a revolutionary technology that allows creation and integration of web widgets into live and on-demand TV streams, shows, movies, even music streams. Add your twitter feed to your video stream with smart activation. Our technology is covered by two issued US Patents and other US & European applications.
You can now integrate into your stream google ads, Instagram posts, twitter posts, facebook, or any other cloud- or web-based app into your TV stream, either live, or pre-recorded. Seamlessly, without much effort but knowing your handles, hashtags, or a web link to the content you need to integrate.,
Additionally, MEVIA includes other tools required for broadcasting including media playback, broadcasting to IPTV, OTT, and Cable TV systems.
“Cloud-to-Cast” or “Cloud-to-Cable” brings social media applications residing in the “cloud” or on the “web” to be displayed as part of the video experience in OTT and Broadcasting systems Our MEVIA platform is the best way to “Amplify your Reach®”
MEVIA : Stream Creation and Generation of Streaming Multi-Platforms
In the world of media, you can produce video and music content!! You can post it on Youtube® , Vimeo®, or others, but those are not going to provide high levels of income. Therefore, your content needs proper distribution to receive proper monetization. MEVIA provides many tools to assist content owners, including playing back video content in a sequence or a playlist can be used with Multiplatform technologies.
MEVIA has tools to create On-demand, linear TV channels and VOD or Over-the-Top (OTT) streams that can be licensed to end-users, to operators, or any other carriers, as well as a portal to access it and monetize it with fiat currencies and soon with crypto currency.
As an example, we created TECHEDTV in youtube at our studios in Boca Raton, Fl.
We recorded over 100+ videos and MEVIA was used to create a linear feed that can be found at teched.tvand mevia.tv. The TECHEDTV feed is now ready for monetization at Cable TV systems, Satellite, and OTT Outlets. Now the customers are subscribers at U-verse, FUBO, Sling, LG Streaming Platforms, Roku, and many others systems.
The User Interfaces for OTT and VOD look as follows:
Seamless Live or VOD Stream integration to Social Media Applications and Web Widgets
One of the main problems with video is the limited feature set in Smart TVs, as Smart TVs are made to decode video with great quality, computation and rending applications will complicate matter. Hence, integration of RSS Feeds, Facebook, Twitter, and others is not easy and complicates Smart TV application creation. There is were MEVIA comes to provide an integrated user experience in a simple and seamless way. MEVIA will work for live and VOD content seamlessly, integrating web widgets and cloud components effortlessly.
MEIVA is then an innovative way to integrate any web widgets including social apps to video and audio feeds.. As an example, the following web widget is a ticker that includes stock information and news. This is a “React App” that loads into a container or cloud-based system and can include customizable content of stocks prices (my own portfolio) and my own news (keywords)
In order to achieve that, the MEVIA Platform connects the two worlds by integrating both into one stream: For example, using the TECHEDTV live stream creating an enhanced version of the Feed is created that includes my own HTML-based widgets.
Also, a network like Bloomberg can be also enhanced with that ticker.
Similarly, other widgets can be added such as Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, or any other React, or Web App that resides in the cloud.
In the following picture, a screen shot from Bloomberg TV was recorded as of May 16h, 2021 and the contents from top and bottom replaced with the ticker widget containing a customized version of the stock portfolio. The stock portfolio ticker (black) on top and bottom is generated in the cloud and made part of a real-time video feed,
Similarly, instagram can be made part of the Bloomberg or CGTV feed as shown in the bottom right of the screen, the video includes how to web elements are slide up and slide down from the screen, even animated with web-based standard technologies
Similarly, the same stock ticker added at the bottom and top of the Bloomberg stream or feed can be added to any other feed in eluding TECHEDTV.
Stay tuned for more updates on our newest software integrations.
As an Inter Partes Review Consultant, I draft declarations and assist my clients in Federal court and PTAB.
I have experience assisting clients from startups to major corporations.
In general, IPRs are now used as defense during patent infringement cases. During the IPR process, we will be evaluating prior-art and preparing reports for either a Patent Owner or a Petitioner. Invalidity and infringement will have to be considered as both could be greatly affected by the IPR process, and in many cases terms and claim construction rulings may have an effect that our experts will consider.
An “Inter Partes review” is defined as:
Inter partes reviewis a trial proceeding conducted at the Board to reviewthe patentability of one or more claims in a patent only on a ground that could be raised under §§ 102 or 103, and only on the basis of prior art consisting of patents or printed publications (more info)
The PTAB Board will first determine if the trial will be “instituted” and whether or not the “Petitioner” has sufficient grounds, or “if reasonable likelikhood standard” is met. The “Patent Owner’s” response to the initial filling (Preliminary Response) is considered as part of this decision. Once, the petition has been instituted, additional declarations will be required for the board to review and used by your counsel arguing a defense or requesting a claim or claims to be invalidated. The USPTO has the following flow chart:
I can assist your attorney in all filings, and you can hire my services as an expert or “Inter Partes Review” consultant.

Selected Expert Reports
In a TCPA case against Vehicle Agency and AT&T, and in the notice of “Filing of Expert Report and Identification of Key Portions Answering the Court’s Questions by Vehicle Agency, LLC” for a TCPA Case.
Many reports were nominated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” and are not available to the public.
A new KPI-based Damages Model (Damages Report) is introduced in this article. This KPI-based Damages Model and analysis works when Panduit testfails for a computation of loss profits and only works for a reasonable royalty damagers model.
I personally submitted a damages report in a the case: Mobility Workx, LLC vs Cellco Partnership aka Verizon Wireless in the E.D. Texas, and Judge Mazzant ordered me to present it to a jury which means a Daubert challenge was made and survived..
The model I created for damages (Damages Report filed with the court) can be used for many technology disputes where “Key Performance Indicators” (KPI-based Damages Model) are measured to map a business performance, and how and what intellectual property maps to the revenues generated by a business and its performance.
My report mapped, a KPI-based Damages Model fits perfectly with KPIs from ETSI Specification “TS 32.451 Version 8.0.0 Release 8” describing the following subcategories:
Judge Mazzant accepted my report due to my experience at Motorola and all my overall resume working with startups, licensing deals, and being part of multiple patent and technology licensing agreements that involved companies like Qualcomm, Google, and many others.
For example, TS 32.451 contain several KPIs for LTE Systems or E-UTRAN and you can map an Intellectual Property piece to one or several subcategories, and then from that category you can then establish the proper proportion of what an intellectual property maps to, which means that clearly a percentage of the revenues that a company generates can be mapped to a certain technology.
Key performance Indicators are part of not only 4G LTE systems but are found in most technological systems. The process is presented in the following areas.
In summary, one can say that many KPIs have a mapping to revenues, and that’s how companies can value performance to value.
Once these mappings are determined, which all KPIs may offer the same proportion of value to the generated revenues of a corporation, then one can map the features of a patent portfolio to one or many KPIs and create a weighed average of contribution to the KPIs and hence to the revenues.
In the following charts, I represent that maybe a single patent or IP maps to a KPI which equates to a percentage of the revenues, let’s say it is 20%. Assume for a second that the KPI category contains 20 parameters, that for simplicity will be equally weighted. As such, the technology where damages are being calculated corresponds to 2 parameters let’s say, hence a 10% of the KPI is then affected or benefited by the patents or technologies.
Setting up a royalty rate, of let’s say 3% to 5% seems reasonable and affects only the percentage of the revenues a KPI is affected by the patents. Hence, there is no dispute on how much effect a patent or an IP affects a business model.
KPIs are usually defined by the defendant or an industry-defined, like in LTE, and each are granular enough that a mapping between a patent portfolio and /or an intellectual property can be mapped to.
As such a simply royalty yield of 5% can be used to compute an overall royalty that only affects the revenues generated by let’s say LTE Revenues for example, or any other technology with KPIs.
if you have any questions you can contact me or hire me to calculate your damages report for KPI-based Damages Model.
