"This licensing agreement is an excellent illustration of our strategy, in which we monetize our intellectual property in product areas outside of our core vertical application segments, through licensing our technology to third parties," said Art Swift, Unidym's president and CEO. "Our foundational patent portfolio covers many critical aspects of carbon nanotube manufacturing, processing and product applications."
