Unotchit Inc. was incorporated on July 8, 2004 with a mandate to develop and patent a remote signing device, coupled with a video conferencing system, to enable people to remotely interact over any distance and sign documents and memorabilia. LongPen was invented by author Margaret Atwood, and was originally conceived as a way to extend the traditional book tour. From that beginning, countless applications for publicity, corporate and government uses evolved.
In 2006 Unotchit Inc. conceived and developed the LongPen Network. The first application of the Network seamlessly linked authors and other celebrities from their preferred location to retail locations around the world. In 2007, LongPen BusinessWriter was developed, making it possible to sign documents ranging from purchase orders and court proceedings to contracts and estate affairs.
Additionally, the Network may be used to enhance special events allowing celebrities to interact and sign items from the home, office, or hotel for fans at any location in the world.
Unotchit Inc.'s corporate office is located in downtown Toronto with a development and operations centre located in West End Toronto.
