Maryland's SafeNet Patented Technology Secures Beijing Olympic Coverage

Posted on August 11, 2008 by Brian Wm. Higgins

     Maryland's SafeNet announced earlier this month that it had been hired by CCTV, the national television network of the People's Republic of China, to secure from copyright infringement CCTV's live and on-demand online video footage of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. SafeNet, which has 43 patents and 31 patent applications currently pending, is employing digital rights management (DRM) software to prevent video from being distributed and viewed by anyone except those who are authorized. According to the company's announcement, SafeNet's technology was given a trial and evaluated during the CCTV.com broadcasts of the 2008 European Cup soccer tournament earlier in 2008.
