The second reference link no longer works, but I was unable to edit and remove it due to the new format for editing. Offeiriad (talk) 19:14, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Proposed expansion and factual corrections (COI request)

Conflict of interest disclosure: I am Matthew Gibson, President, CEO, and co-founder of Syngrafii Inc., the company that develops and markets the LongPen. I have a direct conflict of interest with respect to this article and am not editing it directly. I am posting this proposal here for review and adoption (in whole or in part) by an uninvolved editor, in accordance with WP:COI and WP:PAID. The current article is brief and contains several factual inaccuracies. The most consequential is the description of the LongPen as "a remote type of autopen". An autopen reproduces a stored signature without the signatory present; the LongPen captures and reproduces a live signature with the signer present via an audio-video link, and produces a one-time original ink signature for each transaction. Other corrections concern the development history (Unotchit Inc., the Quanser Consulting engineering partnership, the rebrand to Syngrafii Inc.), the public debut (London Book Fair, March 2006; first transatlantic signing 24 September 2006), and the description of Conrad Black's status in 2007 (he was on bail in the United States awaiting sentencing in a fraud case, not "under arrest"). A proposed replacement text follows, with citations to independent published sources. === Proposed article text === The LongPen is a remote signing device that allows a user to produce an original handwritten signature on a physical document at a distant location. The signer writes on a tablet input device while connected over the Internet to a robotic writing arm at the receiving location, which reproduces the signature in ink on paper. The system also supports a live audio and video connection between the signer and the receiving location. ==== History ==== The concept was conceived by Canadian author Margaret Atwood in early 2004, while she was on a paperback book tour for her novel Oryx and Crake, with the initial aim of allowing authors to sign books for readers without travelling. In 2004, Atwood co-founded Unotchit Inc. (pronounced "you-no-touch-it") with Matthew Gibson to develop the technology. Engineering development was carried out in partnership with Quanser Consulting Inc., a Toronto-based control-systems firm. The system was publicly demonstrated at the London Book Fair in March 2006. The first transatlantic signing using the system took place from Toronto on 24 September 2006. In late 2007, Conrad Black, who was on bail in the United States and awaiting sentencing in a fraud case, used the LongPen from his home in Florida to sign copies of his biography of Richard Nixon at a Toronto book event introduced by Atwood. Unotchit Inc. subsequently shifted its focus from author book-signings to business and legal transaction signing and was renamed Syngrafii Inc. The LongPen became one component of a broader remote-signing product line. ==== Technology ==== The system consists of an input device on which the signer writes, software that captures the kinematics and pressure of the signature, and a robotic writing arm at the receiving end that reproduces the signature in ink on a physical document. Unlike an autopen, which reproduces a stored signature without the signatory present, the LongPen produces a one-time original signature in real time, in conjunction with an audio-video link between the parties. The underlying technology is the subject of patents filed by Unotchit Inc. and Syngrafii Inc. from 2005 onward, including U.S. patent 8,867,062 ("Remote signing system"), filed 25 November 2005 and issued 21 October 2014. ==== See also ==== * Autopen * Telautograph * Electronic signature === References ===

Thank you for considering this. I am happy to provide additional independent secondary-source citations if that would help an uninvolved editor evaluate the proposed text. ~~~~ ~2026-27022-74 (talk) 15:01, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Done though it isn't exactly as written, since some information was placed in footnotes. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 18:56, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
