"While BuildingLink has been known in the industry as a leading innovator of building management solutions for more than a decade, it is still nice to get the official credit for our inventions," said Jerry Kestenbaum, BuildingLink's CEO and founder. "This '321 patent, whose filing dates back to June 2000, is recognition of some of the pioneering innovations that have been integral to our company since its founding."

"We have had several inquiries this past week from other solutions providers in this space regarding possible licensing options," said Rina Furst, in-house counsel for BuildingLink. "We are encouraging all parties to learn more about our patent and to speak with us."

BuildingLink has other pending patent applications, such as those directed to package custody management and service request management, with the same effective filing date as the '321 patent.
