Pattern licenses

A paper product enabling Anoto functionality must have the proprietary Anoto pattern printed on it. You can license a unique part of the pattern. This part will not be used by anyone else for the duration of the subscription.

Pattern organization
For administrative reasons, the Anoto pattern is divided into smaller, identifiable parts called pattern pages. You can license single pattern pages, sets of pattern pages (called books) or sets of books (called shelves). The amount of pattern pages to license depends on what kind of service you would like to set up.

Each pattern page is associated with a certain template (pattern page template) that defines the size and structure of the page. Apart from deciding the amount of pattern to license, you must also decide which pattern page template you want, i.e. A3 or A4.

Unique pattern
The use of Anoto's unique pattern has several benefits from a pen user perspective and also for the general system design. The user can handle paper products as they use ordinary pen and paper. Using paper products based on unique pattern is used when the user scenario supports working with several paper products in parallel and when going back and completing a paper product previously filled out. It is also possible to have several users (pens) working on the same paper product.
