The featured technology, listed as Lot 70 in the online auction catalog, can be viewed at www.icappatentbrokerage.com/forsale. The Lot discloses a fax system for sending and receiving documents over different networks. Traditional systems for faxing via phone systems and the Internet require additional information such as an email address, network name, or IP address just as they would need a phone number to send via the PSTN (Public Switching Telephone Network). These systems require that the user decide how the fax is sent. While the disclosed system still uses a standard phone number, the technology makes use of a server located on the Internet (or other network) to determine if the fax should be sent via the Internet or the PSTN. The connection to this server is transparent to the user. By utilizing the disclosed technology, a fax system can keep the simplicity of only requiring a fax telephone number while always using the most efficient route for sending a transmission.

Dean Becker, ICAP Patent Brokerage and ICAP Ocean Tomo Auctions CEO, commented, "Our Fall 2011 Auction will be our biggest yet, featuring more than 140 lots. Technology, like that disclosed by this lot, represents some of the best innovation in the industry. We are very excited to be able to offer this to the worldwide market."
