Patent applications
In 2006, Ljungman applied for UK and US patents for a method of mobile advertising by which pre-created advertisement messages, are sent to mobile communication devices in advance of the time and date on which they are to be presented or as live streaming content and for a method to submitting and delivering content events to remote devices by selectively delivering multimedia content, such as sports highlights, a video clip, or a movie, to a mobile communication device.
Gizmondo
The Gizmondo is a handheld gaming console with GPRS and GPS technology, which was manufactured by Tiger Telematics and its subsidiary, Gizmondo Europe Ltd. Ljungman's company 3P PreForm Marketing and Research performed research and development work for Gizmondo Europe since 2003 and was paid $7.6 million.After Gizmondo Europe's bankruptcy in early 2006, the liquidators had outstanding questions about Ljungman and his company's involvement with Gizmondo Europe Ltd; they where perfectly satisfied with Ljungman's answers. In May 2008, Ljungman's partner Carl Freer bought Gizmondo Europe's intellectual property rights. Ljungman traveled to China in early 2008 to arrange manufacturing, a contract worth $300M.
3P PreForm Marketing and Research
3P PreForm Marketing and Research went bankrupt on October 15, 2004. Ljungman was accused of about a dozen cases of fraud and two serious tax fraud offenses regarding 3P PreForm and eight other companies. He was arrested on October 19, 2004, but released shortly thereafter pending trial. On trial, Ljungman was convicted of tax fraud. He is appealing the decision.
