(Pink Sheets: SPZI) today announced it has filed several patent applications for its proprietary software and business processes. The company also reported it has applied for a copyright on its futures and options trading program source code. The company has retained Welsh & Katz, Ltd. as its intellectual property attorneys. "We believe tremendous value will ensue as a result of Spooz's aggressive intellectual property protection strategy," said Spooz CEO Paul D. Strickland, Jr. "We have spent several years and countless hours designing and perfecting this system and we want to ensure that our shareholders receive maximum benefit from their support of our efforts." The company last month formally launched its SpoozToolz(TM) system, initially designed for futures and options traders. The program is available for downloading on a free-trial basis at http://www.spooztoolz.com/ . The two-week trial includes real-time data from the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Kansas City Board of Trade.

Spooz products and services will be first to provide users with the ability to utilize Microsoft Excel(R) as a stand-alone information resource and customizable user interface for electronic order execution for futures, stocks, mutual funds, derivative products such as option contracts, fixed income, and government securities. Spooz products give users the ability to design and freely exchange their own research, analysis and trading screen templates. "We have always believed that Excel is the standard for those who do their own market research and that spreadsheets are the common denominator for the exchange of financial information," Strickland said. "Spreadsheet programs are the common thread that hold the financial community together." Strickland added that while the initial launch of SpoozToolz(TM) -- the company's flagship product -- is designed primarily for futures and options traders, additional products for stock and options traders are scheduled to be launched early next year.
