Our technology is comprehensively protected by patent law. With approx. 6,200 patent claims and an average patent term of approximately 15 years.
That is a really expensive business, but it is essential. It allows us to pass on this long-term protection to our community members via licensing agreements.
Community members obtain long-term exclusivity for their specific applications and, as a result, enjoy a crucial competitive advantage in the market. And they can therefore charge premium prices.
