Additionally, he has invented more than 50 patents and pending patents on core web technologies which are in use by virtually all web sites today. Shuster founded Utherverse, Inc. in 2003 to develop a network of interconnected virtual worlds using a common platform. By 2006 the company was expanded to Canada, where Shuster continued to innovate in virtual world space, culminating in the release of the Virtual World Web in the fall of 2009.
