Recommind Assigned Patent

Recommind, Inc., San Francisco, CA, has been assigned a patent (8,984,028) developed by Verschoor, Richard, Sydney, Australia, for a “systems and methods for storing data and eliminating redundancy.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A method for effective data storing allowing reducing storage requirements and speeding up various storage operations by reducing storage of redundant data is disclosed. The method includes receiving new informational objects, (such as computer files) for storage and breaking down the new informational objects into multiple data objects. Each data object is analyzed to determine whether an identical data object already exists in a database. If an identical data object already exists in the database, the new data object is not stored. If, on the other hand, an identical data object does not exist in the database already, the new data object is stored. Furthermore, for each informational object to be stored, relational links are generated which associate the data objects and their storage locations with the informational object such that the informational object can be easily recreated when required.“

The patent application was filed on May 29, 2012 (13/482,907).
