Artprice Confirms the Chinese Search Engine Baidu as a Direct Interface for Artprice Databanks in China

LYONS, France, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

thierry Ehrmann, founder and CEO of Artprice, wishes to inform the market that the decision (7 January 2013) regarding guarantees of intellectual property rights in China will henceforward allow Baidu, the most visited website in China and the fourth most visited on the internet, the same bandwidth and machine power as Google (contractual agreement since 2003); Henceforward, Baidu will be able to search over one million logs per day to absorb the tens of millions of Artprice pages in Mandarin and the 210 million pages in five other languages.

Baidu was founded by Li Yanhong and Eric Xu in January 2000 in Beijing and very rapidly became China's market leader on the back of its Mandarin search technology. Vis-à-vis Google, its marketing slogan is "Baidu knows Chinese better".

In 2013, mainly through Baidu (China) and Google, and including its different languages, Artprice's aims to post approximately 210 million standardised free Art Market data online (without any impact on its turnover and earnings) and hence occupy the heart of the market via its fixed-price and auction-based Standardised Marketplace.

Artprice is therefore continuing its conquest of new customers (and their accompanying behavioural logs) in the framework of its integration of Big Data implemented at the end of 2011. This Artprice Big Data - which represents the firm's principal source of wealth, but which does not appear on its balance sheet - may best be understood by reading an article in Le Monde: http://goo.gl/NgiJ3

Artprice now has a colossal customer database with records of over 18 billion logs - in full compliance with the regulations of the European and American authorities - that allows it to know exactly what each of its clients is looking for and/or possesses through its Data Mining and now Big Data activities.

-Lex Google- is not really the right answer in the global digital economy.

In 2013, Google and Baidu (China) have become the direct interfaces for all of Artprice's databanks. The relationship between Google and Artprice is contractual and dates back to 2003. It is in itself, proof that Lex Google is not really the appropriate solution in the global digital economy.

As announced in its last press release, Artprice has - since early December 2012 in the case of Google and since January 2013 in the case of Baidu (China) - started making a very large part of the structure of its databanks and its Market Art standardization available as online freeware (free proprietary software license, but with certain usage restrictions).

All of the industrial processes forming Artprice's databanks are patent protected, notably via patents filed with the A.P.P. (Agence de Protection des Programmes- Software Protection Agency).
