HP Expands Intellectual Property Licensing Program to Asia
Bangalore, India-based Prodigy Labs is one of the first companies to take advantage of the center with its agreement to license HP’s gesture-based keyboard technology. Developed by HP Labs India, the gesture-based keyboard is an electronic pen-based device that can be used to create text in languages that use phonetic scripts, rather the Roman alphabet common in Western languages. With the keyboard, users input data the way most people learn to write – with a pen.
Prodigy Labs, a fast-growing product development company, will manufacture the gesture-based keyboard under its own brand name and manage all marketing, sales and support of the technology.
“Developing innovative products such as the gesture-based keyboard requires a significant investment in research and development, which can be a barrier for companies with limited R&D resources,” said Harsha K. V., managing director, Prodigy Labs. “With this licensing agreement, Prodigy Labs gains access to HP’s intellectual property and vast research capabilities, which helps us quickly develop new products while lowering our investments and getting to market faster.”
