Período documentado: 2022-09-01 hasta 2024-02-29
Moving forward, additional research and development will be required to bring this innovation to market. This should be conducted in collaboration with automotive manufacturers and/or tier 1 suppliers in order to ensure that industry requirements are fully met. At present, we are in the process of trying to establish a collaborative research project with a major automotive manufacturer to validate the technology for the applications under study. This would be fully financed by the partner. At present, the IPR situation is relatively strong and we feel confident that our existing patents would be sufficient to set up a licensing deal at the most appropriate point within the product development pathway. However, it remains possible that additional patentable results may emerge as the product becomes more mature.
