As we continue to expand an inflecting -- and ultimately massive -- market opportunity that we are uniquely positioned to lead, we will productize additional use cases that work together with existing use cases to provide accretive value to our customers and allow them to complete their digital transformation journeys. Because with Digimarc, you can finally see everything. And when you see everything, you can achieve anything.
