KIP CR P1 Assigned Patent

KIP CR P1 LP, New York, NY, has been assigned a patent (9,031,912) developed by Rogers, Austin, Moody, II, William H., and DeLine, Peter Anthony, Austin, TX, for a “system, method and computer program product for controlling file migration in archiving systems.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Embodiments provide a solution for controlling file migration in archiving systems. A networked device can be configured to, during an archiving process, exclude or otherwise prevent files from migrating to tape or another archiving appliance connected to the networked device which, in one embodiment, implements an archive node appliance. The archive node appliance may be configured to start an archiving process to store a file. The archiving process may cause the file to be stored in a share or directory on the archive node appliance. The archive node appliance may check a file exclusion policy associated with the share or directory to determine whether the file is to be excluded from migration. The archive node appliance may stop the archiving process if it determines that the file exclusion policy contains a pattern that matches the file name. One example of such a pattern can be a user-defined glob.“

The patent application was filed on June 25, 2012 (13/532,512).
