SeeqPod's search and recommendation technology is anchored by a biomimetic algorithm originally developed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab under the name GenoPharm.

The system, meant to serve as an add-on to a biologists brain, has allowed researches to find indirect connections between genes and therapies that had never been noticed before.

[6] The unique ability to understand complex, hidden relationships between genes and diseases was soon applied to playable media content on the internet under the name SeeqPod.

R&D Magazine recognized the development of SeeqPod's search technology by naming it the winner of the 2008 R&D 100 Award in Software,[1] dubbed the 'Oscars of Innovation' by The Chicago Tribune.

SeeqPod founder and CEO/CVO, Kasian Franks has recently started another company, Mimvi Inc., which uses specialized algorithms to automatically aggregate, re-rank, organize and personalize digital content on the Internet and on mobile devices.

Mimvi focuses on personalized search, discovery and recommendation technology for video content including music, travel and comedy.

Unlike the before-mentioned cases, which involve hosting copyrighted material, SeeqPod is the first to be sued for merely searching and presenting media available on other people's servers.
