Canatu has recently expanded its patent portfolio with a new patent, “Apparatuses and Method for Oriented Deposition.” This invention enables us to orient carbon nanotubes horizontally, which enhances the electrical and mechanical properties of Canatu CNT films and its end applications, such as ADAS LiDAR film heaters for the automotive industry.
“Our strong patent portfolio speaks volumes about the level of curiosity and passion that drives innovation. I’m bursting with pride at the ingenuity displayed by our engineers and scientists,” said Ilkka Varjos, CTO of Canatu.
To date, Canatu holds 150 patents across 30 different families. Having an extensive IPR not only safeguards our unique processes, but it also paves way for new business opportunities through licensing arrangements with third parties. Unlike companies that retain IPRs for only specific parts of their production process, Canatu’s IPR portfolio protects everything from material to manufacturing and to the final applications. Full control over the entire process allows us to advance Canatu CNT for different applications with partners and bring products to market without relying on third-party companies.
“Owning patents is an invaluable asset for tech companies, as they serve as the backbone of Canatu,” Varjos observed. “A broad IPR not only safeguards our unique processes, but also paves the way for new business opportunities through licensing arrangements with third parties.”
Today, as the world stands at the onset of the Carbon Age, nano carbons are anticipated to play a transformative role in addressing key industry challenges, making Canatu’s strong IPR portfolio even more valuable with immense potential for impact.
