Press Release
LineType Software, Inc. Awarded Patent for Innovative Digital Signature Technology
Nashville, TN -- May 11, 2010 -- LineType
Software, Inc., a developer of electronic document tools for design
professionals, has been awarded Patent no. 7,711,142 by the U.S Patent
and Trademark Office for the digital signature technology incorporated
in the Banjo Digital Signature plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.
The Banjo plug-in offers unique formatting and security capabilities
that allow users to customize the graphic appearance associated with a
digital signature to comply with licensing board standards for signing and
sealing construction drawings and specifications. Any alteration to
a signed document will cause the signature to be immediately and visibly
invalidated.
These custom formatting features are the centerpiece of
the technology acknowledged by the Patent Office. Users of the
Banjo plug-in are able to configure the graphics associated with the
digital signature with great precision, and can use a template document
(such as a print of a CAD drawing, or a contract) as an underlay when
arranging graphics elements on the screen.
The Multi-Sign feature of the Banjo plug-in, which allows a user to
sign multiple pages of a PDF at one time, is also recognized in the
patent. This technology is critical to many architects and
engineers, who need to have a seal and signature affixed to every page
of a multi-page document.
