Q And what is that patent? What is, is that, is that like a copyright on the actual code? What does that patent actually entail?
A Well, the patent is actually a system and method patent. So what happened is like, ah, in year 2000, almost 18 years ago, before there was an American Idol or Dancing with the Stars or any, any other way of voting online, ah, since I was a musician, I thought there should be a way for artists and musicians that are all around the world who do not have access to Hollywood to be able to upload their music, to be judged by industry experts and also voted by fans. Created a site called make a star.com. And at that time when I filed the patent, nobody else was doing that. So basically it's a system of method for user generated content for contests where all kind of, uh, talented people, whether it's singing, dancing essays or whatever, they upload their music. They can get judged by a judging panel and voted by the people and the winner selected.
