When licensing a technology, we recognize the unique circumstances of each client and marketplace. Therefore, licenses may be for a specified field of use or geographical area. And they may be exclusive or nonexclusive.

We also recognize that R&D efforts require significant investment by industry to create commercially viable products. To help minimize the investment risk for this research and development, we provide intellectual property protection.
