The patent portfolio consists of six patents, three in each of the Canadian and United States markets which relates to innovative methods for creating customized optical devices:
The intellectual property enables the efficient production of an optical device by prefabricating a foil substrate with nanostructures and using printers or lasers to selectively cover the nanostructures not desired to efficiently print optical devices.
Adigy Canada is controlled by Dr. Bozena Kaminska a director and shareholder of Nanotech. Nanotech paid $100,000 cash to acquire the patents and agreed to share 10% of any revenues from a specific customer developed in the next two years with ongoing royalties of 3.0% to 6.0% on other revenues derived from the patents for a period of five years.
