RPost App Extends Box with Legal, Secure, and Verifiable Document Services

RPost just released an RPost app integrated into Box (formerly Box.net) that extends document delivery options with a familiar email user experience. Box’s RPost application allows users to send files attached to Registered Email messages from within their Box account, for the most legally robust record of who sent what documents to whom and when by email, with time-stamped proof of document content delivered to the recipient’s inbox; as well as HIPAA compliant email encryption and electronic signing options providing auditable proof of recipient consent or signature on documents sent by RPost from Box online file storage. RPost is offering these services from within the Box interface free for the first ten documents sent per month, with file sizes up to 200MB per transmission.

Many Box users collaborate with clients, business associates, suppliers, advocates and adversaries that they might not want to invite to have log-in access to their Box account, regardless of how secure the firewalls are.  Further, with many business users experiencing email overload, senders of messages and documents need to consider the recipient experience – simplifying and speeding access to messages and their attached documents.

With RPost’s new Box app, Box users can now, with one extra click, share files with external parties attached to a Registered Email message from within their Box account, preserving security and email recipient experience with no downloads or log-ins.

Box users will now have access to RPost’s ‘Triple Play’ for document delivery by email – proof, encryption, and electronic signature services completing Box’s office-in-the-cloud platform permitting their millions of customers to further eliminate printing, faxing, mailing and scanning when it comes to transmitting, tracking, securing, and signing high value documents.”

RPost further simplified the process of obtaining recipient signatures on documents or contracts stored within Box with RPost’s electronic signature and contract signing services permitting the sender -- without leaving the Box user interface or need for any document preparation or set-up -- to send documents by email in a special manner such that the recipient can view the document in their browser and use their mouse to script their handwritten signature right onto the document. This provides both parties with a final and legal e-signed agreement.

RPost Patents Validated by California Federal Court

RPost today announced the US Federal Court in California has now re-affirmed the validity of its US Patent 6182219 by granting RPost's motion for summary judgment on a counterclaim of invalidity. RPost brought suit against a number of companies in 2011 for infringing some of its 35 patents, the validity of which those defendants challenged.

RPost sued Adobe-Echosign, DocuSign, Swiss Post, Canada Post, Zix Corporation, RightSignature, Farmers Insurance, Telarix, Trustifi, among others, in 2011, alleging infringement of the '219 patent and in some cases four additional RPost patents. RPost asked the US Federal Courts in California, Texas and Virginia to issue injunctions to prevent these companies from operating the services that infringe RPost patents. The earliest jury trial dates in these cases have been set for June 2012.

With newfound comfort in decade-old electronic signature and transaction laws, more service providers are looking to enter the market with services that simplify the transition from paper processes to electronic. Since transaction-related messages are involved, savvy companies are looking for the best implementation of technology providing the highest evidential record of who knew what when, who signed what when, as well as what was transmitted and encrypted in compliance with privacy mandates.

"These lawsuits are about disregard for intellectual property rights," remarked RPost's CEO Zafar Khan. "It is now not just about going electronic, but doing so in a responsible, legal, and compliant manner. This is where RPost's decade-old patented Registered Email technologies add value."

Many companies have opted to work with RPost in a constructive manner and RPost recently opened an Apps Marketplace to showcase the implementation of RPost proprietary technologies integrated into different platforms. However, other companies have opted to simply steal RPost technologies, ignoring RPost's very clear references to RPost's patent positions.

"This should serve as a notice to those companies that choose to steal RPost patented technologies and offer them in the market as if they were their own innovations," adds Khan. "Whether they are commercial operations of big foreign governments or small technology companies looking for a go-to-market short-cut, we will vigorously defend all of our intellectual property, everywhere."

RPost's 35 patents granted worldwide have priority over technology dating back to 1995. These patents broadly cover the technologies of verifiable proof for email delivery, value-added outbound email processing, and providing evidentiary records on transactions sent electronically. RPost patents have been granted in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States; with numerous additional patents pending. RPost's federally registered trademarks include 'Registered Email®,' 'R-Mail®,' and 'Legal Proof®,' among others.

RPost Debuts New Class of Mobile Messaging for When Your Message Counts

RPost users can now send Registered Email messages with one click from most mobile devices, providing you time-stamped legal records of delivery, encryption to secure content delivered to any recipient, and simple methods of signing and obtaining signatures on messages and documents.

Our Registered Email® services now create a new class of mobile messaging for high value messages that require email proof, encryption for extra privacy, or e-signatures on messages or documents.

Understanding recent trends, email traffic is becoming more and more the method of corresponding when you have something important to say -- casual messages are moving to texting, Tweets and Facebook, faxing is outdated and cumbersome, and paper-based U.S. mail has become a tool of the past when reliability, trust and speed are essential. However, standard email is feature-limited, and as is often the case when sending from mobile devices, leaves one to wonder whether or not a message that really counts was received.

With newfound comfort in decade old electronic signature and transaction laws, and more important messages being transmitted by email from mobile devices, RPost now brings its Registered Email® legal electronic messaging services to the most popular mobile platforms.  We call this mobile messaging platform RMail® Mobile.

When sending messages that have consequence, RPost users can now send RMail mobile messages with confidence from their BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone and Android devices. RMail messages provide the sender instant proof; proof of delivery within time deadlines; legally verifiable proof of who knew what when, or who legally agreed to what when; and all with options for encryption for end-to-end privacy. RMail Mobile also includes legal electronic signatures to lock in agreements on attached documents or messages typed in email body text, enhanced deliverability with read receipts, and proof records specially routed or stored for easy reference after the fact. The recipient needs nothing special on their end and can receive Registered Email messages to any mobile or desktop Internet connected computer or device.

With RMail mobile messaging installed users have the same RPost services that governments, law firms, and companies across the globe have relied on for years, and you can cut out trips to the post office when you need a certified delivery receipt, as well as expensive couriers when you need to record signoff on documents.
