Beaverton, Ore — March 19, 2012 — The Patent Board's Patent Scorecard, published in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) online edition, ranked Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC) third among its Top 50 Innovative Companies in Information Technology. The Patent Board has developed more than 50 indicators that track global patent activity relating to companies' innovation, technology and science strengths and provides analysis for the WSJ. Digimarc was #1 in Industry Impact™ among the top 50 in Information Technology. According to The Patent Board, Industry Impact™ indicates the extent to which others are building upon a portfolio of issued US utility patents as compared to the total set of utility patents in the industry.
Bruce Davis, Chairman and CEO, Digimarc, commented: "This ranking is consistent with our view that the enabling infrastructure of a change in the general computing paradigm to a more pervasive intuitive computing interface is unfolding at a rapid pace, most obviously in smartphones and other mobile devices. Networks will become more efficient and search less reliant on key words as computer technology better enables sensor-laden digital devices to see and hear as humans do. We believe that Digimarc's signal processing innovations will play an important role in this major step in the evolution of the industry."
