Tri-Vision licenses U.S. V-chip to Lite-On
- Tri-Vision International Ltd./Ltee today announced that it has licensed its V-chip technology under United States Patent # 5,828,402 (the '402 Patent) to original equipment manufacturer Lite-On Technology Corporation of Taiwan. The license covers all digital receiver products produced for sale in the United States. The license is valid through the expiration of the patent in 2016.
