Sunnyvale, CA – July 2, 2007 – Commtouch® (Nasdaq: CTCH) announced today that the Company signed eight new licensing agreements during the second quarter of 2007.
“The new agreements reflect another strong quarter of growth in global markets,” commented Gideon Mantel, Commtouch’s chief executive officer and chairman of the board. “Market-leading companies continued to select the Commtouch Recurrent Pattern Detection technology to integrate into their security solutions.”
The total number of companies licensing Commtouch technology reached 73 at the close of the second quarter of 2007, making Commtouch one of the leading OEM vendors in the security industry.
“It is our task during the next two to three years to provide more products to our current licensing partners, while continuing to expand our partner base,” said Mantel. “Already in Q2 we saw a number of upgrades made by existing partners, who are now licensing additional Commtouch products beyond those of the initial agreements.”
Commtouch typically announces specific deals when the integrated product is being launched, and/or upon agreement of the licensing partner. Commtouch does not individually announce every licensing agreement due to a number of considerations, including confidentiality agreement restrictions.
