• "The University of Texas at Austin has an outstanding reputation for its state-of-the-art research facilities and dedicated students and faculty," said Harlie Frost, president, SBC Intellectual Property. "SBC is a strong advocate of innovation at the university level and we feel that this donation will have a positive impact in the field of network security research." SBC Intellectual Property was formed in June 2002 to actively manage the strong suite of intellectual properties held by the SBC family of companies, including its patent portfolio. As part of this effort, the organization will seek to encourage innovation at universities and other research facilities by donating some patents that offer potential for benefits that fall outside of SBC companies' telecommunications offerings.
