Marketwired
Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. ("AVRS") (OTCBB: AVOI) is
a software development company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona
specializing in creating interface and application solutions for
speech recognition technologies. Our speech recognition software
and related firmware was first introduced in 1994 at an industry
trade show.
Our primary assets are patents. The first U.S. Patent #5,960,447
is for a word tagging and editing system for speech recognition
filed on November 13, 1995 and issued on September 28, 1999. The
patent includes 42 claims covering an extremely broad base of
features applicable to existing Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
products and markets.
U.S. Patent #7,558,730 was filed on November 27, 2001 and issued
on July 7, 2009. The invention discloses a system for facilitating
speech recognition and transcription among users employing
incompatible protocols for generating, transcribing and exchanging
speech. This patent is expected to strengthen our position in voice
recognition.
On March 9, 2010 the United States Patent and Trademark Office
("USPTO") declared an interference between the AVRS as Senior Party
and Allvoice Developments, US LLC as Junior Party. An interference
is a proceeding conducted by the USPTO in instances where two or
more parties claim patent rights to the same technology. In an
interference the primary purpose of the USPTO is to determine which
party invented the technology first, and to award the patent to
that party. The AVRS patent was filed approximately 10 months
before the Allvoice Patent. On January 13, 2011, Oblon Spivak of
Alexandria, Virginia, representing AVRS in the Interference
proceedings, delivered oral arguments before a three judge panel of
the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI). Oral
arguments were the culmination of thousands of hours of team
effort. The Company hopes to receive a timely decision.
Also on January 13, 2011, the Company received a notice of
allowance for a third patent which is a continuation of U.S. Patent
#7,558,730. We believe the third patent will improve the efforts of
AVRS to monetize its assets in the rapidly growing voice
recognition and transcription marketplace.
Additionally, the Allvoice Patent is the subject of a lawsuit
that Allvoice filed against Microsoft in August 2009 in which
Allvoice alleged infringement of Allvoice's patent. Microsoft in
turn filed invalidity contentions based in part on Advanced Voice
Recognition Systems' patent and its previously marketed product
Digital Dictate. To date the Western District of Washington has not
ruled on the invalidity contentions asserted by Microsoft.
