`United States Patent 5,191,573
`
`Dear Mr. Seulley:
`
`I am pleased to inform you of the recent issuance of United States Patent 5,191,573, titled:
`“Msthodfor transmitting a desired digital video or audio signal". This patent will revolutionize the video
`rental industry and the prerecorded music: industry, among others, and will serve as the catalyst to propel
`the multimedia industry into the let century, In short, my patent speaks to a method to sell prerecorded
`movies, music, and other forms of information over telecommunications lines for subsequent playback by
`the purchaser on their television set, home stereo, car stereo, computer, etc.
`
`Currently, I am in the early stages of identifying and assessing various business structures as
`they relate to the implementation of this patent. To firlly understand the implications, I are discussing
`business alliances with major corporations with a vested interest in the 'motion picture, prerecorded music,
`computer systems & peripherals, andfor telecommunications industries. These alliances may include the
`formation of a new company with the express purpose of manufacturing the product and selling the various
`recordings, a joint venture with a variety of contributing corporations, a licensing arrangement, andfor
`some other form of a business accounnodation. Obviously, the final application of this technology will
`have a very positive and far reaching impact on each one of the industries listed above, and should be of
`interest to Apple Computer.
`
`Enclosed is a copy of United States Patent 5,191,573 for your review. If you have any
`questions about this patent, and/or are interested in discussing this matter in more detail, please feel free to
`contact me at your earliest corrvcnience.
