NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
 
PAID, Inc. (“PAID”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) has developed AuctionInc, which is a suite of online shipping and tax management tools assisting businesses with e-commerce storefronts, shipping solutions, tax calculation, inventory management, and auction processing. The product has tools to assist with other aspects of the fulfillment process, but the main purpose of the product is to provide accurate shipping and tax calculations and packaging algorithms that provide customers with the best possible shipping and tax solutions.
 
The Company has five United States patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and one pending patent application.  The Company intends to license its intellectual property on commercially reasonable terms to licensees in order to generate revenue for the Company.  As part of this revenue generation effort, the Company commenced on December 20, 2013 patent infringement litigation against eBay, Inc. (Paid, Inc. v. eBay, Inc.; CV No. 4:13-cv-40151-TSH) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts Central Division.  The Company’s goal is to develop a robust licensing program utilizing its intellectual property assets.
 
Previously, the Company's primary focus was to provide brand-related services to businesses, celebrity clients in the entertainment industry as well as charitable organizations. PAID's brand management, brand marketing, social media marketing, product design and merchandising, website design; development and hosting services were designed to grow each client's customer base in size, loyalty and revenue generation. We offered entertainers and business entities comprehensive web-presence and related services supporting and managing clients' official websites and fan-community services including e-commerce, VIP ticketing, live event fan experiences, user-generated content, client content publishing and distribution, fan forums, social network management, social media marketing, customer data capture, management and analysis.
