Follow Me: IP Investments Holding

Entrepreneur, inventor, and a patent holder. In the early 80's, Bloomfield founded a company which was the first in the industry to develop a transportable cellular phone. The first prototype was introduced at the CES show in Las Vegas in 1982.

Transportable cell phones, which were completely portable, were the precursors to handheld phones and ultimately the personal cell phones which are commonplace today.

In the early 80's Bloomfield founded a company which invented and pioneered computer-based faxing. If you have ever faxed to or from a computer, you have most likely used these inventions. This patented technology has been incorporated in many well-know products and services and has been used worldwide by millions of people.

In the mid 90's, Bloomfield founded a company which invented and patented technology and methods (U.S. Patents 6,707, 580 and 6,857,007 6,693,729) for delivering fax documents to email addresses. Today, fax-to-email technology as it is known, is the dominating means for delivering fax documents.

From 1996 through 2006, Mr. Bloomfield managed a patent portfolio of his patents and inventions through a patent licensing program. The licensing program was considered innovative and pioneering for its time. Leading industry companies such as AT&T, Avaya, Sprint, MCI, 3Com, Ericcson, Siemens, Cisco, Cingular, Efax, Symantec, as well as many other companies, have taken to licenses to this technology.

IP Investments Holding LLC is the newest enterprise for Mr. Bloomfield. The company has developed a business method for conducting online interactive business over the internet. This method is uniquely different from the traditional methods offered by Ebay and others serving the ecommerce marketplace. The software invention is patent pending and promises to change the way products and services are negotiated and sold over the internet.

The company is currently focused on the real estate marketplace as the initial deployment for its technology, known as N-Play.

    In my opinion, ARG and Edina have the right idea about how to bring their product and services to the marketplace. It's not about the frequency of the same data, it's about the quality and integrity of the data and the value of the information derived therefrom. The closer to the source, the better the information. For consumers, finding the information has not been the problem. Mark Bloomfield CEO www.facebook.com/realestateagentdirectory

  • Wow! Outstanding Kris and I

    Wow! Outstanding Kris and I couldn't agree with you more. My prediction is that within 2 years there will be a sea change in the industry hiearchy and agents will be the real differentiator. On the heals of the worse real estate market ever, the agent will rise again but will chart new courses. It's the agents who write the checks that fund the entire industry including brokers, MLSs, Associations, tradeshow marketeers and vendors. If they stopped writing these checks, the entire industry would crumble overnight. The bottom line is, he who writes the checks, rules. Technology and data is now pervasive and non differentiating. The new difference is the agent who knows what can not be found in the MLS database or public records. Consumers have figured this out. Agents know it too and now they have paradigm shifting platforms like Facebook that give them control over their business like never before. If you don't think so, check back in a couple of years. It's going to be an exciting ride. Mark Bloomfield
