(13/01/2008)
Engate Technology Corporation has announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has approved the issuance of Patent No. 7,310,660 which covers methods for removing unsolicited messages from a client's email in a networked computer system in an off-line and on-demand manner.
The patent strengthens Engate’s intellectual property portfolio and provides the company with ownership of key innovations that address critical anti-spam security needs of large enterprises and managed service providers, as well as, value added resellers and technology OEMs.
The issued U.S. patent titled, "Method for Removing Unsolicited Email Messages", builds on Engate’s unique network profiling connection management technology that preemptively identifies the spammer at the source and stops spam and malicious payloads at the protocol level before the message has a chance to compromise the network, IT resources and worker productivity. The technology was developed and patented by the following Engate co-founders: Rich White, Dr. Alan Huang, Dr. Haw-Minn Lu and Ira Victor. Altogether, these four inventors are responsible for over 30 patents.
"As a pioneer of network profiling anti-spam solutions, this type of protected innovation will allow us to continue to deliver superior value to our customers," said Rich White, chief technology officer at Engate Technology. "Our unique approach to preemptive anti-spam protection has proven to be accurate in stopping established and new threats, benefiting our enterprise customers, as well as, our strategic OEM partners and resellers with a distinct performance advantage."
