In September, the lawsuit against Fry’s Electronics, Inc. regarding the infringement of Local’s U.S. Patent No. 7,062,453, which covers “methods and systems for dynamic networked commerce architecture” was settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties, and Fry’s Electronics, Inc. agreed to license the patent. Local Corporation is continuing its efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights.
Dass es tatsächlich 700.000 Dollar waren, wurde zunächst nicht veröffenlticht, aber das kam dann durch das Q10-Filing an die SEC doch ans Licht, wo auf der Seite 24 folgendes steht:
"Income from settlement and patent licensing
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we reached a settlement agreement in the patent infringement action against Fry’s Electronics, Inc. As part of the settlement agreement, we received a one-time patent license fee payment of $700,000 related to prior infringement of our patent."
Dass da aber noch sehr viel mehr drin ist, zeigt diese Aussage des CEO, als das Patentabkommen von Local Corp veröffentlicht wurde:
We have identified hundreds of websites and applications that we believe infringe upon this patent and believe there are likely thousands more. We have set a clear course to begin the process of licensing this patent and expect to continue to report the results of these monetization efforts with greater frequency. Overall, we currently believe that a conservative estimate of potential future licensing fees that could be generated from this patent is $100 million.

"The review site Yelp plans to lobby Congress for patent reform and protections against abusive lawsuits for online reviewers, according to federal registration forms posted online over the Christmas holiday. Late last year, the company hired its first Washington lobbyist, Laurent Crenshaw."

The company now expects 2014 revenue to be in the range of $87 million to $90 million, with the fourth quarter 2014 revenue range of $20 million to $23 million, increasing over the third quarter primarily driven by Network revenue growth.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2014 is now expected to be in the range of $2 million to $2.4 million, or between $0.09 per diluted share and $0.10 per diluted share, assuming diluted weighted average shares of 23.5 million and taking into account the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants
- Our initial nQuery relationships are expected to give Local Corporation potentially significant market share in the Tier II mobile phone carrier marketplace and contribute significant incremental revenue later this year and into 2015..
- The company recently launched nQuery™ by Local, which provides a white-labeled, hosted search solution that powers customized local search experiences and supports the company’s goal to populate local search across the Internet of everything..
- The company recently entered into partnerships with entities that specialize in monetizing subscriber traffic for mobile operators and Wi-Fi networks. The company is implementing its nQuery solution with a top five global carrier. nQuery is already deployed with a major U.S. mobile carrier, 18 international and prepaid MVNOs and 10,000 U.S. hotels.
- nQuery is already powering millions of user searches per month and is expected to grow significantly with the onboarding of new partners.
Local Corp verdient mit Krillion nichts auf Mobilgeräten ohne Verwendung der eigenen App( Havvit ), im Gegenteil es kostet. Das Management hat nun konsequent die Notbremse gezogen.
Q3-Press-Release von Local Corp letzte Zeile : Rückgang der mobile MUVs zum Vorjahr: 32 - 15 = 17 million MUVs oder ca. - 47%.
Das muss nicht bedeuten, dass der Service unbeliebt war,
die Monetarisierung ist das Problem und wird es auch bleiben.
Man kann nur hoffen, dass die Havvit-App dadurch einen zusätzlichen push bekommt.
Meine disaströse Quintessenz: Local schafft es so nicht im wichtigen Wachstumsmarkt "Mobile" Fuß zu fassen.
30% Kursverlust ist da doch moderat. Die Chance auf 300% Kursgewinn, siehe Facebook, vertan.
Nebenbei:
Seit Apple in 2012 die gerätespezifische UDID - unit device identity - abgeschafft hat,
ist ein anwendungsübergreifendes Tracking der Nutzer nicht mehr möglich.
Das war für Local wohl essentiel, wenn Nutzer im Browser nach lokalen Informationen suchten, bei local landeten und sich auf interessante Webseiten weiterklickten, wo ein Kauf getätigt wurde.
Käufe direkt im Laden, aufgrund der Beratung von Local, brachten Local meines Wissens nichts ein.

Preisvergleiche sind von gestern, lese ich daraus.
And yet, now it’s all here. It’s amazing, but also completely normal. Marketing is different. SEO is certainly different. But in many ways it’s still the same. Like we outlined in our new definition of SEO, it’s still about Solving Problems, Engaging Audiences, and Optimizing Everything.
The new “blue sky” thinking in 2014 is about the Internet of Things—the shift to assigning every single thing an IP address and connecting it to the Internet.
But it’s going to get even crazier in the next 10 years. And just like the shift from desktop to mobile, the Internet of Things is going to mean huge challenges and opportunities for marketers – and specifically for SEOs."

Im unmittelbaren Einsatz ist dagegen ein App von Local.com, die man in der iPhone- und Android-Version laden kann.
Eiige dieser kleinen Blättchen lieferten nämlich überwiegend Fraud bzw. produzierten ihn im Extremfall auch selber. Nachdem man den Blender Sawtell gefeuert hat, hat hier der neue CEO anscheinend die Bremse scharf angezogen und die Verbindungen zu den Fraud-Liefeanten gekappt. Ich hoffe einmal, dass die folgenden größeren qualitätsmäßig guten Netzwerkmitglieder noch dabei sind:

Bei den hier angeführten Unternehmen im Einsatz befindlichen lokalen Suchmaschinen werden von Local Corp gepowert, in die logischerweise auch Fähigkeiten der Dermonstrations-App Havvit einließn. Aber diese Suchmaschinen laufen nicht unter dem Namen von Local Corp, das höchste der Gefühle ist, dass manchmal "gepowert von Local Corp" dabei steht.
With mobile’s ever-increasing influence on the shopping experience, there are three vital questions consumers care about when they’re searching for products from their mobile devices:
1. Is it carried near me? Consumers want to know if nearby retail locations sell the product they're interested in.
2. Is it available in store? Consumers want to know if the product they want to buy today is available in a nearby store.
3. How much does it cost? Consumers want pricing information on products.

Beutzt wirklich von Euch niemand Preisvergleichsmaschinen wie Idealo und andere, wenn er nicht verschreibungspflichtige Medikamne kaufen will?
The company entered the programmatic media marketplace to leverage its robust local audience data and connect advertisers with real people in real time, on the right platform. The company’s valuable, high-intent, first-party consumer data, includes behavioral, geo and device attributes from its 20 million monthly unique visitors across its O&O properties. The company anticipates this will enable additional scale over time, as any number of publishers can access multiple advertisers and multiple, targeted ads based on specific interests
