United States Department of Defense

1. Background on the Patents

I, Gabriel De La Vega Jr., am the inventor and present assignee of U.S. Patents US 10,205,986 B2 and US 10,958,961 B2, which cover a comprehensive mobile live-streaming video system encompassing:

• Individual mobile devices (smartphones, body-cameras, drones/UAS, vehicle-mounted cameras) streaming live video in real-time over wireless networks
• Intermediary servers receiving, managing, and relaying multiple concurrent video streams
• Remote viewers with the capability to select among multiple live feeds and watch them concurrently
• Multi-user architecture explicitly designed for multiple broadcasters, multiple viewers, and real-time selection

These patented inventions are currently implemented across numerous U.S. Department of Defense programs that publicly advertise and demonstrate identical technical features to those described in my patent claims.

2. Public Evidence of U.S. Government Use

The following claim chart demonstrates how publicly documented U.S. Department of Defense systems and programs implement the exact technical features claimed in my patents:

Claim #	Patent Claim (Verbatim)	Infringing Use & Indirect Financial Gain	Evidence / Link / Screenshot
1	Mobile device broadcasts live video in real-time ('986 B2 Claim 1)	✅ Soldiers and units stream live body-cam/UAS video via secure radios/cellular/satcom. Indirect Gain: Faster situational awareness reduces mission time and casualties → tangible dollar value.	→ Army: Nett Warrior shows live video to leaders (2025) "Leaders at all echelons can see the video in real time." → Defense Systems: NW streams drone video (2017)
2	Video selection and transmission over a network to remote viewers ('986 B2 Claim 3)	✅ Command elements select feeds and redistribute to analysts/decision-makers. Indirect Gain: Less radio traffic and re-tasking latency → fuel/man-hour savings.	→ ATAK shares photos, videos, real-time camera feeds → DHS: ATAK real-time events & data sharing "ATAK has the capability for us to also watch real time video from either public pole cameras, public IP cameras, street cameras, traffic cameras"
3	Server/intermediary relays live video from multiple devices ('961 B2 Claim 2)	✅ Tactical servers/TAK Server rebroadcast multiple FMV feeds to users on demand. Indirect Gain: Centralized relay lowers bandwidth waste and duplication → lower comms costs.	→ Army: Nett Warrior acted as full-motion video server → TAK-server-as-a-service (multi-user FMV)
4	Viewer interface allows selection among multiple live feeds ('986 B2 Claim 6)	✅ TAK/WinTAK clients display maps + selectable UAS/body-cam streams. Indirect Gain: Faster target/route selection reduces mission hours and risk.	→ TAK UAS plug-in shows live video feed → ATAK (FMV listed in app description)
5	System enables multi-user, real-time viewing of live video feeds ('961 B2 Claim 5)	✅ Multi-echelon access (leaders, analysts, JTACs) to concurrent live feeds via JADC2/TAK ecosystems. Indirect Gain: Shared view minimizes blue-on-blue, asset loss, and repetition → measurable savings.	→ JADC2: real-time ISR data sharing "JADC2 will enable the Joint Force to share intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance data in real-time" → TAK Product Center (ATAK/WinTAK/Plugins)

4. Legal Framework: 28 U.S.C. § 1498

The Government's "Use First, Pay Later" Patent Law

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1498(a), when an invention covered by a U.S. patent is "used or manufactured by or for the United States without license," the patent owner's exclusive remedy is an action against the United States in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for recovery of "reasonable and entire compensation" for that use.

Legal Reference Sources:

• → 28 U.S. Code § 1498 - Cornell Law
• → Government Patent Use (United States) - Wikipedia
• → Advantages of Suing US Government for Patent Infringement - Bloomberg Law

Plain Language Summary: If the U.S. government uses my patented live-streaming system without a license, federal law mandates they owe me monetary compensation for that use—including, in qualifying cases, the costs of legal representation and expert witnesses required to prove the claim.

5. Escrow.com Payment Mechanism

To protect both the United States Government and myself as patent owner, I propose handling the $8 billion license payment through Escrow.com, a regulated third-party escrow service.

Why Escrow.com?

Escrow.com acts as a trusted third-party that collects, holds, and disburses funds only when both Buyer and Seller are satisfied. This mechanism ensures:

• The U.S. Government can verify patent validity and license terms before funds are released
• I, as inventor and patent owner, have assurance that payment is secured before granting the license
• Funds are released only after both parties agree the licensing agreement has been properly executed
• Full legal protection and documentation throughout the transaction

6. Next Steps for U.S. Government Representatives

I respectfully request that appropriate U.S. Government representatives:

1. Review the public evidence cited above demonstrating government use of my patented technology
2. Contact me directly at support@tvknowsyou.com to finalize a written license agreement covering US 10,205,986 B2 and US 10,958,961 B2
3. Initiate an Escrow.com transaction for $8,000,000,000 to complete the payment in a secure, legally protected manner
4. Execute the license agreement providing worldwide, fully paid-up rights for all U.S. Government use and manufacture under 28 U.S.C. § 1498
