ATLANTA, Aug. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Adapt IP Ventures, LLC announces that its client, QuickVault, Inc., was recently issued U.S. Patent No. 8,011,013 titled "Method for Securing and Controlling USB Ports." The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office also awarded QuickVault the trademark of "CloudVault."
QuickVault (www.quickvault.com) is a privately-held IT security company based in Cumming, GA that offers a wide-ranging set of security and backup products and intellectual property for mobile devices, computers, networks and POS systems. As announced in May, QuickVault retained Adapt IP Ventures to assist with IP management and business development.
"The addition of this patent and trademark is yet another example of QuickVault's commitment to expanding and protecting their valuable IP rights," said Grant Moss, CEO of Adapt IP Ventures and Strategic Advisor to QuickVault. "In addition to this patent, QuickVault has two other issued patents and many pending patent applications that cover additional aspects of data security and mobile payments."
This new patent enables users to control and secure data integrity by monitoring USB ports for authorized devices based on security policies and parameter files. Potential uses of this patented technology could include controlling access of devices connected to a USB port including external storage drives, printers or other mobile devices. The original patent application was filed in July 2007, but has a priority date of July 2006.
QuickVault also received approval for the "CloudVault" trademark in July. The CloudVault product is a secure online file sharing service with a unique capability to protect data on a mobile storage device when it is lost or stolen. CloudVault also allows customers to monitor and report the movement of data to and from a mobile device. This capability is particularly relevant for compliance and breach disclosure purposes.
"We believe that this trademark provides considerable value to QuickVault as the market for cloud-based storage products continues to grow," said Moss.
