The United States Patent & Trademarks Office (USPTO) accepted 9
claims resulting from the patent application which BlueBear can rely
upon to protect its intellectual property. The Company's patented
intellectual property is embedded in its products, LACE (Law
Enforcement Against Child Exploitation) and IDLE (Integrated Digital
Law Enforcement).
The patented intellectual property allows BlueBear to conduct
secure, simultaneous, distributed searches of biometric (face, iris,
and voice) templates and text from remote locations in linked
biometric and text databases.
Market Drivers
Biometric information is available in police, and driver's
license databases located in various cities. BlueBear distributed
search and information sharing products provide law enforcement and
departments administering driver's license databases the ability to
link and share information securely and simultaneously in seconds.
"There are millions of facial images in police and driver's ID
databases that could be searched simultaneously in seconds," said
Blair Bond, VP business development, BlueBear. "With the explosion
of digital video, police are flooded daily with surveillance videos
from crime scenes containing facial images of suspects," Bond added.
"BlueBear's technology permits police to search not only their own
mug shot database but also the databases of neighboring police.
Since criminals travel from their own jurisdiction to other
jurisdictions to commit crimes, this technology adds to the growing
tools of information sharing available to law enforcement today,"
continued Bond.
