Maya-Systems Inc. sells user interface patents to Apple Inc.

In the third quarter of 2012, a transaction took place between Maya-Systems Inc. and Apple Inc., through which Apple acquired a portion of Maya-Systems’ patents relating to innovative axis-based user interface technology. The acquisition included 18 patent properties of Maya-Systems.

In the press release, Maya-Systems said that technology offers an intuitive way to display any virtual content in a superior manner and this transaction attests that Maya-Systems axis-based user interface is ahead of the growing demand for axis-based user interfaces.

“We dealt with a significant number of sophisticated buyers,” noted Mathieu Audet, founder of Maya-Systems and patent agent, in the press release. “We are pleased to have secured the transaction with Apple.” “Our patents have been analyzed thoroughly by many potential buyers. We are confident that they are strong assets.” The negotiations with Apple were carried out with the assistance of Mr. Louis Carbonneau from Tangible IP LLC.

Maya-Systems’ IamOrganized offering (iamorganized.com) is the first all-in-one file manager, sharing platform, cloud storage and workflow management tool to utilize the innovative axis-based user interface technology.

Maya-Systems Inc. was founded in 2002 and is based in Montreal, Canada. It specializes in developing advanced content management technologies.

    1. Not hardly. This is a product Apple needs internally for their backbone; to blend the lines in the processes for concept to cradle cash-flow — revenue requires rigorous replenishment — and quite frankly there are a few companies out there who are as meticulous about security as they are about their integrity, and they’re getting Apple’s business.

      That is solid gold and pretty much a guarantee of success, provided one doesn’t lose sight of what it is that Apple found in them so attractive in the first place. In fact, I’d get it in writing and read it religiously.

    2. Hard to say.

      From all the demos i could find of Maya’s technology it sounds like another Metadata layer to allow tagging documents and controlling workflow.

      I’m hoping there is something I’m missing. lol.
