FairPay
-
Beyond Freemium
(public domain*)
– How to
Really Exploit The New World of Networked Commerce
-
See current information at
FairPayZone.com
-
FairPay is a simple, but fundamental,
rethinking of how businesses and consumers conduct business with one
another.
-
Set prices made sense for 20th Century
mass retail, but not for infinitely reproducible digital offerings in a
personalized, networked world.
-
FairPay can be applied to
digital content (journalism, music, TV/video, e-books), software and/or services (as well as physical products) in
a wide variety of ways.
-
FairPay re-envisions elements of freemium,
paywalls, dynamic pricing, value/performance-based pricing, pay what you
want, subscriptions, and loyalty programs, to provide a strong and
sustainable customer revenue stream. FairPay solves the nasty problems
of pricing digital products and other experience goods -- and does that
in a way that assures customer buy-in.
-
FairPay can delight consumers -- and
sellers. It makes efficient value-based pricing work for consumers -- and
for the
businesses that serve them.
-
Reisman is working on a
pro-bono basis with business and academic partners on research,
trials, and applications of FairPay,
and offers free consultation.
(*Reisman's patent filings related to FairPay have been
released into the
public domain
and all patent disclosures have been
published by the Patent Office for anyone to use.)

projects:
The Augmented Wisdom of Crowds

– empower users with cross-screen
integration of phones/tablets and TVs.
- CoTV
offers rich multi-machine UI features such as screen-shifting (much
like Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast).
-
CoTV
exploits the fact that many users now watch TV on a large screen, while multitasking on a
"companion" device (tablet, phone, or laptop).
- CoTV patents also address
broader and more advanced services that are emerging, including
multi-machine UIs for integrating phones with smart watches and with
autos.
-
These patents were licensed in 2015 through RPX Corporation to
many major companies in the TV/video and smartphone space.
Search
and the Social Web and Semantic Web
(sold)
–
improve search by applying user feedback and context.

Apply
feedback on which items are selected by others and what task/domain the
user seeks relevance to ("apple" for trees or computers or Beatles music).
- Patent relate to
search and the “Social Web” or "Social Search" and
to search and the "Semantic Web"
- This portfolio was
sold in 2009 to RPX Corporation, the first defensive patent
aggregator.
Smart clients, Internet
push distribution, and software update
(sold)
– personalize
and automate information distribution to smart devices.
- This technology relates to many Internet
push applications, such as app stores, content channels, offline browsing, RSS,
electronic software distribution, and webcasting, as well as aspects of
"smart-client" Web services, mashups, the mobile Web, and
e-commerce.
- This technology led to
the 1994 founding of Teleshuttle as a software/services company.
-
The
portfolio was licensed to BTG for commercialization, and BTG's licensing efforts led to patent infringement suits
against Microsoft and Apple, ending
in 2006,
when BTG announced the sale of these patent rights for $35 million, plus
a share of future profits.
- These patents were then controlled by
Intellectual Ventures and
licensed to many
companies, including most major smartphone and PC vendors.
Other developments in such areas as "Big
Data"/"The Internet of Things" and digital media management are listed on
the Patents page.
