CORONA, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pink Sheets: AVTC - News) and Flix On Stix announced today that the unique technology driving their Flix On Stix program is so inventive that full patent rights and claims are expected to be assigned.

AVT's technology group has been working for several years on original inventive technology for its line of PC based vending products when it developed a means of vending products digitally, such as movies, games, and music, in a manner that preserves copyright and prevents piracy. In March 2009 at its open house event, AVT announced the patent pending technology underlying the Flix On Stix program. This technology is a secure means of transferring digital content such as movies or video games to a USB memory stick for limited time playback, thereby creating the perfect digital content rental system. At the open house, it was explained that the rental and file transfer program is the next bright superstar in the entertainment rental industry.

Bryan Ross, the CSO of Flix On Stix, stated, "The developed technology has the ability to transfer digital content of any type in a secure manner. It is this security and versatility that is the root and core of the Flix On Stix program. This patent pending technology is currently unlike any file transfer protocol on the market today and due to its high degree of invulnerability, it should be widely adopted by the industry as the next generation in digital file security."

AVT said it has been working with a coalition of companies in order to deploy movie rental kiosks this fall, and said that all involved companies, from retail chain stores to content providers, are extremely excited about the introduction, industry adoption and willingness to collaborate.
