 What’s New
License Agreement with J2 Global Communications, Inc.
We're announcing a licensing agreement with J2 Global Communications for a suite of patents. Under the terms of the patent license Copia receives a non-exclusive, worldwide license to J2 Global's digital patent portfolio in exchange for an upfront payment plus ongoing quarterly royalty payments.
So what does this mean to you as our customer?
This portfolio of fifty-six (56) patents covering various fax, email and voice software will entitle you to use our software for personal use without infringing upon J2 Global patents. We will be including a J2 Patent License fee of ten (10%) percent on invoices for Copia published fax software and maintenance. The fee is calculated on the selling price of all Copia software except for our FaxFacts MailMerge and voice products. Any current software lease payments are not affected. Under our agreement this patent license fee is required for all new sales. This is not an option.
Copia encourages all users of its published software to procure all necessary intellectual property licenses required to implement their concepts or applications. Licenses may vary from country to country. Certain uses of Copia fax software may be covered by one or more patents as list on http://www.copia.com/support/refmanual/
DID YOU KNOW: Changes to our CopiaFacts Client Software
If you haven't updated your CopiaFacts client software in a while, you may be unaware of some of the changes we've made. Along with the support for version 7.2 of the fax server, the client includes support for fax privacy options, Goldmine variables, and environment variables. It sports a balloon hint alerter for incoming faxes with the ability to click on the hint to display the received fax. The client now also uses override settings that the administrator makes in the client administrator program and saves to owner settings files. The administrator can apply the settings to individual users, groups of users, or all users. The workstation setup program has also been changed to allow custom installs. You can now create owner templates that may be used to tailor the installs and you can set command line options on installs to install the fax print driver(s), setup the user files, or both. No interaction with the user is required during installs. So the installs can run automatically and may even be incorporated into login scripts. The workstation client now uses the user login name to identify the CopiaFacts user, which provides a more consistent approach to user identification.
