Yangaroo said Tuesday the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted allowance for patent application No. 10/431,854 titled "Content Distribution System and Method" which covers a method of distributing digital content, such as music and advertising, over the Internet where the content provider selects access privileges and release specs.

The U.S. patent complements Yangaroo's Canadian patent No. 2,407,774, which described the same process. The patents add to the company's intellectual property portfolio, which includes U.S. patent No. 7,003,670 titled "Biometric Rights Management System," also pending in Canada, and the U.S. patent application No. 11/854,289 titled "Media File Distribution System and Method."--Laurie Sullivan
