  • Marketing of Professional Women's Soccer in the United States
    MARKETING OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S SOCCER IN THE UNITED STATES THROUGH FEMINIST THEORIES by CHRISTOPHER HENDERSON (Under the Direction of James J. Zhang) ABSTRACT Despite the success of the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT), two women’s soccer leagues have quickly failed in the U.S. This doctoral dissertation examines the past and present of the marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States emphasizing feminist themes to fulfill three objectives: (a) to critically examine the history of the marketing of women’s soccer in the United States to identify and gain a better comprehension of changes in theory and practice of marketing in women’s soccer in the U.S. over time; (b) to identify and explain the use of three feminist themes in the marketing of women’s soccer, specifically in the NWSL; and (c) to analyze the impact of these three feminist themes on the related marketing strategies used within in the NWSL in an effort to build a framework while also developing recommendations for marketing practitioners for the promotion and marketing of professional women’s soccer in the United States. The historical analysis segment revealed that the failure of the first two professional women’s soccer leagues in the United States were largely a result of poor resource allocation and an inability to connect with and retain fans, the media, and sponsors. The Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) burned through capital at an unsustainable rate and was unable to maintain the excitement of the 1999 Women’s World Cup, leading to microscopic television ratings and perennially falling attendance.

  • Tnt Groundbreaking Press Release
    magicJack VocalTec Completes Patent Deal with Intellectual Ventures Purchases patent from Intellectual Ventures, gains license to Intellectual Ventures patent portfolio, and becomes a member of strategic defense program WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., NETANYA, Israel, and BELLEVUE, Wash. — July 30, 2012 — magicJack VocalTec, Ltd. (NASDAQ: CALL) entered into a multi-part invention rights agreement with Intellectual Ventures (IV). The transaction strengthens magicJack VocalTec’s patent position and grants access to tens of thousands of patents from IV’s portfolio. In the transaction, IV is selling a voice-over-IP (VoIP) patent which was originally invented by VocalTec and then sold to an IV company in 2008 (before magicJack merged with VocalTec). IV received cash and common shares as part of the consideration for the transaction. magicJack VocalTec has also become a member of IV’s strategic defense program, known as IP for Defense (IPFD). By subscribing to IPFD, companies are able to access patents from Intellectual Ventures’ portfolio to defend themselves against threats of patent litigation. “This new agreement extends a long and productive relationship between IV and magicJack VocalTec. We are able to acquire an asset, previously sold to an IV company, that is important to protecting technology at the heart of our VoIP products and services,” said Dan Borislow, CEO of magicJack VocalTec. “By working with IV, we have fortified our intellectual property foundation further protecting our business. Small technology companies in our space often find it difficult to grow into meaningful businesses without the help of companies like Intellectual Ventures.” “We aim to work with innovative companies like magicJack VocalTec as part of IV’s program to help small- and medium-sized businesses access IP to meet their invention needs,” said Ken Lustig, vice president of Global Licensing at Intellectual Ventures.
