Vistaprint Awarded 11th Patent
VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq:VPRT), the leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and customized printed products to small businesses and consumers, announced that the company has been awarded its eighth United States patent and eleventh worldwide patent. The company has more than 40 pending patent applications worldwide.
U.S. patent number 7,020,838 relates to providing “what you see is what you get (wysiwyg)” printing of documents that are composed in an Internet browser. Specifically, this patent covers text processing and reproduction methods that assist in printing products that match what the product looks like on the screen when it is designed by the customer.
“VistaPrint regularly receives an average of 12,000 custom-designed orders per day,” said Robert Keane, president and CEO of VistaPrint. “We can process this tremendous volume because we have state-of-the-art, proprietary technology that standardizes, automates and integrates the entire process. The technology embodied in this most-recent patent is part of our technology platform that transforms a simple web browser into a desktop publishing application. This is VistaPrint’s fifth U.S. patent in just three months and we plan to continue to pursue patent protection for the technology we develop.”
Unlike costly traditional graphic arts and printing techniques which produce custom printed orders one at a time, VistaPrint employs patented and proprietary technologies to aggregate custom orders from around the globe and to print them in groups at highly automated production facilities. VistaPrint produces large volumes of high-quality, customized orders simultaneously and for a fraction of the cost of graphic designers and traditional printers.
