Patent applications based on the international application WO200503211 for the
technology have been filed in major market areas (see following list of the pending
patent applications), including Europe, patent application EP20040767083
publication number EP1668876 ( European Patent Office intend to grant patent) and
the US, US application US 20050108248
Use of the same technology by other companies for major products has recently been
observed.
Viralg\'s technology is different from traditional spoofing methods used to counter
illegal file downloads over P2P networks. Unlike spoofing, which is easy to detect
and, thus, really doesn\'t work, a file using Viralg technology impersonates a
regular P2P file by having the same code as the original file. Thus, the Viralg file
becomes a source file when a download is initiated. Unbeknownst to the user, it
carries with it a payload that makes the file unusable once downloaded. This makes
it an effective weapon against illegal downloads over P2P networks.
Viralg's strategy is to focus on early stage invention and development projects.
Viralg intends to sell the technology for international commercialization and
concentrate resources for a new project outside of the P2P and internet media
businesses.
