VinCompass Receivers Updates to Its Intellectual Property
Portfolio
SAN FRANCISCO, CA-(Marketwired - Aug 30, 2016) - VinCompass™
Corp. (OTC PINK: VCPS) received registration acceptance by the U.
S. Patent Trade Office (PTO) and updates on its intellectual
property (IP) portfolio.
VinCompass initially had common law rights in four trademarks
arising out of use since at least February 2012. These four
trademarks are VinCompass, FoWL, VinPrint, and the VinCompass logo.
Federally registered trademark imparts a presumption of
distinctiveness. Additionally, it provides a nationwide notice of
trademark rights, as well as access to a more uniform body of law,
benefits the Company can now utilize.
These four trademarks have all been allowed by the PTO. The
trademarks have also been published for opposition without
incident. In addition, specimens of use have recently been
submitted for all except "FoWL." Therefore, the federal
registration of these marks is anticipated to be completed before
the end of 2016.
VinCompass Patent Portfolio
Filed in July 2011, VinCompass has a pending patent application
(USSN 14/232,383) relating to a method and system for recommending
a wine based on dynamically varying constraints. The patent
application with 22 claims is continuing as expected, with 2017 as
the estimated patent grant date.
According to founder & CEO Peter Lachapelle. "VinCompass is
pleased to have our IP recognized by the PTO. As part of our
overall strategy, these IP investments in both technology and the
registration process will allow us to uniquely solve the personal
wine curation problem and accelerate VinCompass' monetization
process."
