In April 2012, Barco launched ClickShare, a meeting room technology that Barco claims enhances meeting efficiency and better decision making. The wireless presentation and collaboration system allows any meeting participant to share content on the central meeting room screen with the use of ClickShare buttons. Following its launch, the ClickShare family has expanded and has won several industry awards including the InAVation Award (2013, 2014) and rAVe readers’ choice awards (2014, 2015 and 2016).
To protect Barco’s efforts in research and development, the company has secured a strong portfolio of both utility and model patents and registered ClickShare as a trademark in various jurisdictions. Barco is also closely monitoring other potential infringers in Europe, the Americas and APAC and will take the necessary steps to prevent others from copying Barco’s patented technology.
