There has been a lot of hype about the cybersecurity sector of late. Today another kind of security tech saw some action, however, as Ring [Private Company Ticker Symbol: OTOMEUP] raised a $61.2 million Series C funding to expand their outdoor connected security product offerings. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers along with an investment by British angel investor, Sir Richard Branson. Ring, which is looking to find a niche in the $6.89 billion connected security market, makes a connected doorbell. Owners can view people at their door via a smartphone app that connects to a high definition camera on the console. Along with the built-in motion detector, the doorbell can let users know when there is someone on their property, ensuring security straight from their smartphone. The Ring console can also be integrated with other smart products such as smart locks and thermostats. The global connected security market is expected to grow to $28.90 billion in 2020. According to PrivCo data, this round of funding brings the total amount raised by Ring to over $90 million.

I haven't read on the board if this company might be a target of ours for a license. Seems device is getting quite popular, a lot of TV ads. Note interaction with WiFi, detection, alerts, and cloud storage/retrevial. IMO, close to a NEST camera in a door bell? https://ring.com/press

FWIW - not sure why there may be confusion of possible new lawsuits - EDIG told us they will enforce and pursue! right?

(SAN DIEGO, CA, – August 11, 2016) –

Patent monetization update – The Company began enforcing its Nunchi^® patents against companies in the connected home security market in fiscal 2015. One royalty-bearing license agreement was executed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and two new license agreements covering three companies were executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In December 2015, the United States Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) granted a defendant’s petition for Inter Partes Review (IPR) of the asserted patents. In July 2016, the USPTO granted a joint motion to dismiss the IPR, allowing the remaining cases to move forward. eDigital continues to identify companies that it believes infringe this technology and will continue to vigorously protect its intellectual property.

“In addition to our smart home product development, we will continue to enforce our patents and we expect to continue to be successful in doing so,” Falk concluded.
