History

● Since 1999, I-CES laid the foundation for a universal system for reducing the volume of bytes in digital audio, image and video files.

● In 2004, to protect their work, the creators found I-CES, a simplified joint stock company; the company is now the owner of the researches.

During the same year, a series of computer experiments on 11 audio, image and video file compression algorithms revealed highly effective compression; these results encouraged I-CES to file three worldwide methodology patents based on three central topics:

  • - desynchronizing the original criteria for reading audio and video files.
  • - transforming color space in image and video files by reducing the brightness criteria.
  • - compacting values and sets of values.

These three patents, called process patents, granted I-CES 31 exclusive rights, also called precedences, 20 of which were crucial to the future development of compressing audio, image and video data.

● In May 2006, because the research reports produced by the World Intellectual Property Organization did not mention any violation of existing patents or resemblance to the state of the art, Marc Eric Gervais decided to globally file three patent applications.

● In 2007, I-CES implemented the computer programming for its algorithms and demonstration programs that served to verify their final performance and ensure that they could be translated into programming.

● On September 29, 2008, the European Patent Office granted I-CES its status of International Inventor and delivered the first patent, which is currently being approved in the 27 countries of the enlarged European Union.

● In March 2009, I-CES filed a fifth worldwide patent application related to contracting the original amplitudes of the values of digital audio, image and video files. This most recent patent application includes 7 main claims.

As of today, the technological assets of I-CES include 5 worldwide patents, and several Informatics development, wich offers possibility to evaluate the range of the inventions hold by the company.

In addition, I-CES's algorithmic combinations could give rise to a lot of program applications: for Video, Image and Audio. They are all protected by International Copyright.

All of these assets are exclusively and entirely the property of I-CES, a simplified joint stock company.
