A new patent granted to Rosebud expands document collaboration beyond one-to-many desktop sharing, the model used currently by WebEx, Microsoft Live Meeting, and Adobe Acrobat Connect.

Rosebud PLM announced yesterday that the U.S. Patent and Trademark office approved its model for simultaneous document collaboration between many different users.

The patent will be issued Nov. 18 and will be titled "Method and Software for Enabling N-way Collaboration Work over the Network for Computers," says former Sun developer and Rosebud CEO John Mohan.

The patent, Mohan says, covers interactive collaboration between users of many computers.

"With all of the collaboration [solutions] now, you're looking at one person's screen, and they transmit that screen to everybody who is part of the session—maybe it's your screen, maybe it's my screen, but you're looking at somebody's screen," Mohan says. Rosebud's server application replicates all participants' actions to all the other participants' screens.
