Tomahawk system (http://www.idome.net) has announced that the USPTO has granted patent no. 8103292 for their methods to prevent texting while driving. Tomahawk vice president, John Looby says. “In February 2009 Tomahawk system has avoided for patents on a unique way to text messages while driving filed our product iDome now been introduced this year, and solve our unique method of connecting the vehicle the phone via Bluetooth and other connection protocols many problems that other methods of text messages while driving prevention (TWA). Our technology is used by many other companies have, and quickly became the worldwide standard text message while driving prevention. “

The plug-in model that exists today is only the first step in the development of this technology. A fully integrated solution that combines the latest in-vehicle infotainment platform and / or inside the vehicle, portable navigation device uses, is planned for Q2, 2012. Tomahawk is in talks with automotive OEMs and first tier suppliers to integrate this technology into existing platforms and hands-free infotainment such vehicles, and the decision of the USPTO patent grant is to increase such discussions.


Mr. Looby

further? , The various providers in the Tomahawk? Licensing agreements, if guidance standard, we are the industry-wide approach to promoting development, this technology enables the courtesy for each vehicle type, and any phone in the future. Too many licensed operators in the development of alternative formats is harmful to the development of a suitable standard that can be used at the industry level.?

industry analysts predict that over the years, the vehicle must be a solution provider for their customers or disability SMS you can always insure their vehicles less, that provide an increase in the consumer total cost of ownership (TCO). The increase in complaints related to texting while driving incidents to automotive manufacturers, suppliers of mobile devices and mobile operators should be directed, if they decide not available to consumers is, in texts, while the vehicle is in motion. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently recommended a ban on using SMS and mobile phone while driving (http://www.ntsb.gov/news/2011/111213.html) of Tomahawk? S announcement soon.

In related news, Tomahawk has officially announced that they have to pursue other providers to use TWA to continue the technology without a license from Tomahawk, as it was notified in mid-2010 Tomahawk filings with the USPTO. “Companies such as Zoom Safer, cell control, tasers, safe travel systems, networks, tango and other emerging companies our useful technology have found, and this technology also continues to promote as their own without a license, even if they were aware of the intellectual property of Tomahawk ( PI) in this industry, “said Looby.

“Tomahawk has a clear need for our intellectual property rights protected. Some of these providers, continue to promote their products like? patented? if they hold the patents for technologies such as GPS built model of disability text. For various technical reasons, the model of the GPS was largely abandoned these companies have in the past 12-18 months, completely re-designed its product lines to Tomahawk technology, using direct-vehicle mobile device to the SMS?. In addition to legal consequences, as they to declare their products? disable patented?, we expect that in the best interest of their customers and distributors have to remove them? patented? labeling on their products up to date if they do not resolve licensing agreements with Tomahawk systems. It is time these providers either begin talks for a license or go to the technology that they with the first Tomahawk? s were patent applications, otherwise the action must be pursued.

Tomahawk? The vision is that every consumer in the final analysis, a solution is available to disable SMS should choose to do so. ? Keeping people safe on the roads is our top priority. By providing a system that is easy to use and is integrated with the technology available today, that the driver to opt-in for a solution that frees them from the distractions of their mobile phones. A single standard makes it possible to have our technology available to as many drivers.?
