Further, I worked in the industry from ATM 1998-2005 and this form of advertising was well known and discussed, if not documented, in the 80's. Diebold's approach is not novel, is obvious to any skilled or trained in the art, and infringes on domestic and International patents. Fuji, Communiteq, and NCR all had advanced function ATM products that could display ads. Plus, there were several smaller companies trying to promote their ad networks as early as 1995. I sincerely hope the patents are contested. Diebold has another patent for Mobile Device to ATM communication via a smart card or other memory device...that technology has been out for decades. Finland's famous cell phone manufacturer, Nokia, and several other companies across Europe developed the technology in the 90's to communicate with vending machines. Once again, not novel, is obvious. Great blog/site Gene. Thanks for the forum. NoTrolls There is much prior art before Diebold applied for these patents, domestically and internationally.
