Founded in 1996, Nuvocom specialized in applying its expertise in Software Archaeology and related prior art research to assist our clients.

The growth of the Internet in the late 1990's inspired the creation of much software technology. Many of the companies and individuals involved believed that they were the first to solve some of the problems related to creating and delivering services over a communications network. Often they were NOT the first to see the opportunity and create these electronic products and services. Many patents were filed and granted by Internet developers, with neither the applicant nor the USPTO being aware that the same technology had been created before the Internet by the on-line services industry (The Source, Prodigy, GEnie, CompuServe, Delphi, AOL).

As pioneers in the on-line services industry, Nuvocom's associates have personal knowledge of this early on-line technology; they are experienced at locating and actually demonstrating it. Nuvocom also has extensive experience with Internet technology and trends. This provides a broad context in which to evaluate the similarities and differences of modern developments and early technology.

Recently, our Software Archaeologists are semi-retired and working on custom book publishing through our BFF Books subsidiary, and app development, including Sight Calc (an indispensible tool for students of Celestial Navigation). Sight Calc is available on Apple's App Store from the menu bar above.
