Designed to make glass resistant to high impact forces, C-Bond offers the ultimate defense for any government or commercial building. C-Bond resists even the most destructive forces, including natural disasters, gunfire, explosives, and more. It’s a smart solution for schools, airports, and other buildings that require a high level of security.

License Grant

Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, to the extent of the Licensed Field, a license under any Patent(s) or Patent Application(s) to be filed and Improvements, Proprietary Information including Trade Secrets, Technical and Scientific information, and Know-how or the purpose of using the Licensed Products and the Licensed Process and Technology, that is an integrated operating system and related technology collectively and commonly referred to as the Nanomet Technology, which in general relates to Chemically enhanced micro diffusion techniques for advanced lubricity and corrosion protection, in the Licensed Territory.

License Property

LICENSOR represents that he it is the owner of the right to file PATENTS and IMPROVEMENTS, PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, TRADE SECRETS, TECHNICAL and SCIENTIFIC information and KNOW-HOW, all pertaining to several designs of the Chemically enhanced micro diffusion techniques for advanced lubricity and corrosion protection (herein called TECHNOLOGY).  

NeoMetxâ„¢ technology offers metal surface coating to reduce friction, wear, and corrosion of mechanisms with direct metal-to-metal contact.

These patents are related to the NeoMetx(TM) technology, an essential part of the Company's business plan. The Company utilizes a proprietary technology called NeoMetx(tm) for its coating process.

NeoMetx(tm) technology offers metal surface coating to reduce friction, wear, and corrosion of mechanisms with direct metal-to-metal contact.  Conventional methods of metal coating generally consist of thermal spray of layers of material onto the surfaces to reduce friction and wear, which subsequently require maintenance as surface treatments often crack, chip, peel and delaminate.  

The NeoMetx(tm) technology creates an entirely new surface, which alters the molecular structure of the surface metal, by dispersing dry chemical compounds into the substrate of the treated piece.  The end product becomes part of the metal and is unlike conventional treatments where layers have to adhere to the surface.

License Grant

The University grants to Licensee an exclusive, sub-licensable, assignable, worldwide, license under the Patents, to make, have made, use, import, offer for sale, sell, lease, distribute, or otherwise transfer Licensed Products in the Field of Use in the Territory during the Term of this Agreement. Licensee shall have the right to grant sublicenses.

License Property

The Licensor is the owner of certain inventions, know-how and rights pertaining to a graphene-carbon nanotube hybrid material and its use in electrodes, including without limitation all rights pursuant certain patent applications.

Carbon Nanotubes (“CNT”) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Nanotubes have been constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,0001, significantly larger than for any other material. CNTs have unusual properties, including, but not limited to 200x better energy charge, storage and discharge performance than any other technology on the market today, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology.

Field of Use

The commercialization of this technology will require raising sufficient funds for the development of a prototype product (currently intended to be a smartphone battery) to demonstrate proof of concept and then production on an industrial scale.

Field of Use means consumer electronics (including without limitation mobile electronics, mobile telephones/smartphones, tablets, and wearable electronics), nanoelectronic technologies, electric vehicles, energy storage, and medical devices.

License Grant

The Licensor hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive royalty-bearing right and license to use the Licensor Technical Information and Licensor Patents to make, have made, use, offer for sale, and sell Agreement Product in The Territory for use solely within the Agreement Field.
