These Mobile-Originated (MO) to HTTP patents enable a wireless user to send a short message to an external application using Internet Protocols (IP) such as HTTP and to receive a reply. The terms of the agreement are confidential.

Among the processes that TCS' MO to HTTP patents enable is the use of Common Short Codes (CSCs), short numeric 4 to 6 digit codes to which wireless users can send text messages in order to access web-based content. A simple example of this process is when a cell phone user sends a text query to the common short code 4636, "INFO," and receives a response from a web-based server. CSCs are used extensively in mobile marketing, advertising and voting campaigns, as well as mobile text message based searches for local information.

"With TCS' significant investment in research and development, it is important to protect our intellectual property," said Drew Morin, Chief Technology Officer of TCS. "At the same time, we are committed to helping the wireless marketing industry to grow through technology licensing agreements with companies like Bonneville."
