What will be, when the next $700,000 licencing fee's were annouced?stannguru by stannguru

Fry’s Electronics, Inc. agreed to license U.S. Patent No. 7,062,453, which covers “methods and systems for dynamic networked commerce architecture

Intellectual Property Update: 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

"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."

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.

Carriers and other online local business websites are using EDA more frequetly and will confront Local's patent so there's a great opportunity for future licensing deals

Local Corp has three patents for Enhanced Directory Assistance, a method where a business pays to play its ad when a consumer dials directory assistance, is thrusting Local forward as a key player in the monetization of the multi-billion mobile advertising business. Not just voice, the patent covers text, and voice-to-text, so it's broad and more valuable. Carriers and other online local business websites are using EDA more frequently and will eventually confront Local's patent so there's a great opportunity for future licensing deals.

It could be that this is being spun off to prep for an eventual sale that could fetch per Thiel's comments 100 million...I am digging on past co's that spun off their ip assets into a separate subsidiary to see what transpired thereafter..but yes u are correct something is up

If Local Corp were valued like Yelp, the market-cap must be 931 million

The market-cap of Yelp is 3.87 billion and that are the numbers and the result are 10.5-times-revenues.

For the full year of 2014, net revenue of Yelp expected to be in the range of $375 million to $376 million, representing growth of approximately 61% compared to 2013. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $69.5 million to $70.5 million.

The market-cap of Local Corp is 26.02 million. Local Corp 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.    

"Outside of our owned and operated sites we services 600 million search queries a month - that's three percent of all search querries who include their server in North America."

Market leader Google accounted for 67 percent of all core search queries.

nacktes Shorten bisher kaum bzw. nur sehr sporadisch.

Das ist so ähnlich, als ob die Polizei Banküberfälle nicht kontrollieren würde.

Es gbit allerdings einen Unterschied: Wenn man die Bankräuber nicht erwischt, ist das Geld endgültig bei den Bankräubern.

Im Gegensatz dazu kann man hier die Kriminellen sogar ausräubern, wenn man zu Ausverkaufskursen Aktien kauft, die sie später eindecken müssen. Der Plan der Kriminellen kann nur aufgehen, wenn sie durch ihre Shortattacken ein Unternehmen umlegen. Das sehe ich aber bei Local Corp nicht, da hier die Verschuldung nur minimal ist. Eine zweite Möglichkeit wäre, dass das Management mit den Verbrechern zusammenarbeitet - wenn der COO Sawtell geblieben wäre, hätte ich das nicht ganz ausgeschlossen. Daher habe ich meine Bestände auch erst masiv nach dessen Rausschmiss erhöht.  

immer wieder blockiert, wobei ich hier jetzt nicht über das "Warum" spekulieren will:

http://finance.yahoo.com/mb/YHOO/...2C0%25252C3&mbtc=mb-tab-topic

Dass ich mich darüber nicht bei SEC beschwert habe, hänt lediglich damit zusammen, dass ich trotz meiner jetzt 111.500 Stück eine weitere Erhöhung nicht völlig ausschließe.  

New SEC-Filings doesn't exist and the Insti's had closed the books - therefrore more than 90% of volume = naked shorting and/or wash-trading

Local Corp At $1.08 and 0.29-times-revenues: Poised For A Takeover and A Short-Squeeze

• Local Corps shares have value trough multiple upside catalysts like technology, patents, traffic and a lot more.

• This stock is undervalued based on rival valuations, technology, patents, number of monthly unique visitors, gigantic number of queries, data-collection, number of listed companies, takeover potential and a lot more.

• Local Corp’s shares have long-term potential as well as short-term potential as the end of tax loss selling and short-covering of after my estimate near 10 million shares (of 23 million) could create one of the biggest shortsquezze’s we ever had seen.


My favorite for a merger of Local Corp is Rakuten.

Why? Read more about Rakuten Marketing (Source: website of Rakuten markeing)

"With nine offices around the world, our global marketing services span affiliate, search, mobile, lead generation, display and attribution. The recent merger of LinkShare, MediaForge, Paid Search, DC Storm and Popshops under Rakuten Marketing means we offer the highest level of specialization in our core services combined with an integrated approach to simplify what has become an increasingly complex digital marketing space. In 2014, we launched Cadence, our omnichannel attribution platform that provides a single point of install and cross channel insights to optimize media spend. Our company is headquartered in New York City and has offices in Australia, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France and Germany and throughout the United States."

zu denen ich auch auf dem Hot Stock Board poste.

Trotzdem sollte man nur (obwohl ich das nicht beachtet habe) nur einen kleinen Teil des Depots hier investieren und zudem mit Geld, das man übrig hat. Denn das Gebilde Local Corp ist kleiner als Internet Capital und das Hauptrisiko sehe ich darin, dass das Mangement in die Versuchung gelangen könnte, das Know How für einen Butterbrot und ein Ei dorthin zu übertragen, wo man selbst beteiligt ist. Durch den Rauswurf des COO Sawtell, der darin eine gewisse Erfahrung hat, und den inzwischen erreichten Anteil der Instis von ca. 27% sehe ich diese Gefahr aber im wesentlichen gebannt. Jedenfalls habe ich erst nach dem Rauswurf von Sawtell noch einmal massiv erhöht.  

unglaubliche "Hausnummer":

"The fourth quarter 2014 revenue range of $20 million to $23 million, increasing over the third quarter primarily driven by Network revenue growth."

This message was part of the last guidance from November and was not corrected - and therefore you can ignore the panic-bashing of the ID's of the criminal crime behind The Street Sweeper.

If we take the middle of the rrange of 20 - 23 million = 21.5 million. That are on a yearly base 86 million and in realtion to the 24.16 million market-cap of yesterday idiotioc low 0.28-times-revenues.
