Litéra’s continuous cycle of innovation has cemented its position as the front runner in Document Content Lifecycle Management. By developing solutions based on real-world customer needs, Litérahas created the most comprehensive suite of products on the market.

I’d like to proudly announce three new patents have been awarded to Litéra.

In addition, Litéra has seven (7) additional patents in various stages of review illustrating our commitment to customer-focused innovation.


Metadata PatentPatent 7,895,276 for a server based, centralized policy system that removed metadata from e-mail attachments sent from any email client including smartphones and other mobile devices.	Collaboration PatentPatent 7,818,678 enables large groups to collaborate in real-time on electronic documents—created in Microsoft Word and other major document processing systems. This new methodology incorporates reviewer feedback into a database that can be displayed simultaneously in one document—available to select or all in real-time—enabling participants to view comments and edits as they are made or to audit the history.	Comparison Patent Patent 7,818,660 incorporates into Change-Pro—Litéra’s flagship product—which enables users to easily compare all MS Office and PDF documents down to every letter, table and embedded objects such as Excel, Visio and Chemdraw as well as images precisely to a single pixel.

Product NewsLitéra is pleased to announce the general release of Metadact 2.1 with many new features, including:

An enhanced exclusion list that allows users to exclude certain types of metadata like bookmarks, fields, VBA variables and custom properties (Word only). Exclusion lists allow users to apply specific actions, like skip, for select types of metadata.

Enhanced detailed reporting allows users to review metadata detected in documents and save reports for future retrieval. Users can see what types of metadata, how many instances were removed and the context of those instances.

Intelligent Content Clean allows user to replace text in Word documents that matches a specific pattern. For example, all Social Security numbers can be replaced with XXX-XX-XXXX. After processing, the user sees a detailed report of every occurrence.

Additionally, in early May we expect to release Metadact e, our server-based metadata cleansing solution and Innova 7.0 and Change-Pro 7.0 both of which have been enhanced with many new features.

Litéra is strongly committed to having a positive impact on the local community. In fact, a portion of our gross profits is used to support a variety of charitable organizations. Most recently Litéra employees participated in a very successful internal fundraiser for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Second Harvest Food Bank plays a critical role in hunger-relief efforts for the region, helping to provide access to food to those who cannot afford it so that they can survive and even thrive. With the help of Litéra and other local organizations, the Second Harvest Food Bank distributes more than 2 billion pounds of food each year.

As always if I, or any member of the Litéra team, may be of personal assistance please don’t hesitate to contact us.Until next time,
