PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rentrak (NASDAQ: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and TV everywhere, today announced that it has been granted another patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

U.S. Patent No. 8,930,978, issued on Jan. 6, is for detecting and correcting TV viewership levels caused by missing or "dropped" set-top box viewing information. Given that cable, telco and satellite operators may have inadvertent "outages," this process minimizes their impact.
