IP Strategy
Our core asset is our Intellectual Property and as such must inform and leverage our Business Strategy.
Key aspects of IP protection include:
- Patents – The Coldry Process is covered by patents in all major markets with significant lignite deposits and a mature legal framework
- Confidentiality Agreements – Engagement with potential partners and customers is covered by comprehensive agreements
- Licence Agreements – Technology Transfer is protected by detailed agreements to minimise risk and maximise compliance
