The assets of this lot provide a means for users to facilitate in-person events or meetings with new people or arrange meetings with nearby users via location-based technologies.  The proposed event and meeting planner system allows users to publish upcoming events or meeting details and seek RSVPs from interested individuals using the system. Additionally, the location-based technology enables users to search posted events and meetings based on their current location. The location-based technology also provides users updated information relating to travel reports, weather, traffic, and newly posted meeting invites relative to their location.

"The patented technology was originally filed in early 2000 and facilitates the creation of events or meetings including two or more people," explains TTB Technologies CEO John Boyd.

"This lot should be of interest to social and business networking companies, event websites, dating and matchmaking service providers, and online marketing service providers," said ICAP Ocean Tomo CEO Dean Becker.

The expected value of this portfolio is between $375,000 - $875,000. It can be purchased immediately, in advance of the auction through ICAP Ocean Tomo's Purchase Now feature for $765,000. For more information on the patents available in this lot, contact Dean Becker at [email protected].
