Patent for Sale:

Print Branding & Promotional Materials on the Play-Side of CD's and DVD's    

Patented technology for printing branding, advertising, and any high-resolution graphics on both sides of optical media.

Overview

This patented technology enables the printing logos, branding, advertising, text, barcodes and other high-resolution graphics over the entire play side of disks.

Compatible with all pre-recorded optical media formats including CD, DVD, DVD[plus], DuelDisc, HD-DVD and Blu-ray disks.

Primary Application of the Technology

The video entertainment, software and gaming industries can now label both sides of double sided discs with pictures, text and graphics.

There are estimated to be more than 11 billion pre-recorded CD's and DVD's produced each year. These discs can be transformed into valuable marketing/advertising media.

The Problem Solved by the Technology

Printing on the sensitive play-side of optical media damages the disc, creates skipping, disc errors and can render the play-back impossible.

How the Technology Solves the Problem

The breakthrough technology behind this capability is the coating.

Competitive Advantage

The technology is protected by a family of US patents. The US patents have international counterparts in countries such as Canada, Japan and Mexico.

Authentication capability: A locking or security key can be printed on the play-side of media to provide an anti-piracy capability. Counterfit products will be unable to print on the play-side.

The seller would like to be granted a license back.
