Vignette Granted Patents for Innovative Technologies; Intellectual Property Focus Part of Company's Leadership Strategy
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 6, 2004--Vignette Corp. (Nasdaq:VIGN) today announced that it has been awarded patents for its cache management and message pacing methods, enhancing its rich portfolio of intellectual property worldwide. Vignette was recently awarded patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its Method and System for Optimizing Resources for Cache Management and for its Method and System for Managing Message Pacing.
The Method and System for Optimizing Resources for Cache Management provides an improved cache management system that enables Vignette customers to gain more efficient use of their existing technology investment and enhanced performance as a result of the patented technology. This technology may allow customers to operate less hardware with the same or better performance than they could using a different content management system.
The Method and System for Managing Message Pacing permits Vignette customers to manage interactions on multiple communication channels with both internal and external audiences. This method and system deliver information personalized to each recipient's preferences and interests, and avoids overwhelming key audiences with too-frequent contact.
"Vignette has a long tradition of aggressively pursuing excellence in its product design and development, through both organic engineering and acquisitions," said Conleth O'Connell, chief technology officer at Vignette. "By securing patents for its innovations and applying industry best practices to protect and license its intellectual property, Vignette helps create value for its shareholders, employees and customers."
Vignette cultivates a commitment to breakthrough technology and innovation among its employees, which helps contribute to the company's technology leadership status. Vignette currently owns eight patents and has a number of patent applications pending in the United States.
