SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 25, 2013 /CNW/ - LeoNovus Inc. ("LeoNovus" or the "Company") (TSXV: LTV), a leading Internet developer with its high performance browser-based Internet Platform today announced that an additional three patents for inventions and claims of "media action scripts" acceleration have been allowed and will be issued by the USPTO. These patents include acceleration of media action scripts in hardware and software. Representative media action scripts include Adobe Flash, HTML5, Sun Microsystems designed JavaScript/ JavaFX, Microsoft Silverlight, ECMA Script, Scalable Vector Graphics ("SVG"), Vector Markup Language ("VML"), Precision Graphics Markup Language, ("PGML"), Action Graphics, Ruby, Perl, and Python and other multimedia content.

"LeoNovus is in a unique position to offer "best in class" accelerated video and multimedia-based applications for the connected display of choice," said Paul Master, Chief Technology Officer of LeoNovus. "Our intellectual property portfolio has become extremely important as a result of the soaring demand for rich multimedia content across a host of personal connected devices ranging from TVs to smartphones."

According to Cisco, we will have over 25 billion connected devices by 2015, which translates to nearly 3.5 devices per person on the planet. By 2020, this is expected to grow to over 50 billion devices. AND, according to multiple sources including Google and REEL SEO, over 4 billion hours of video is watched from YouTube a month across multiple devices including mobile. The world is also accessing and sharing video via their social sites with an astronomical total of 500 years of YouTube video being watched every day on Facebook, and over 700 YouTube videos are shared on Twitter EACH minute.

In addition to the large amounts of video consumed, these acceleration inventions may also be utilized for other applications, including video games, animation display, display of a graphical user interface ("GUI"), display of an electronic program guide ("EPG"), video on demand, personal video recorders, and telematics, for example.
