Axis strengthens the patent portfolio

Axis today announces that the company is further strengthening its
patent portfolio through acquisition of “Internet Camera Portfolio” from
Hoya Corporation and its affiliate. The acquisition consists of about
twenty patents. The purchase price of the patents will not be disclosed.

The acquired patent portfolio includes patents regarding network
communication and cameras which deliver images over networks using e.g.
different network protocols.   

“As the global market leader in network video this expansion of the
patent portfolio is a natural step. The acquisition of the patents
strengthens our portfolio and thus safeguards our and our partner's
future possibility of selling Axis network video products, says Ray
Mauritsson, President.
