GRT-INC.COM > Intellectual Property - GRT, Inc. Intellectual Property and Technical References
The GRT base technology for the conversion of natural gas components to higher value fuels and chemicals was jointly invented by GRT research staff and researchers employed by UCSB. Subsequent developments have resulted in patents assigned solely to GRT. In July 2001, GRT obtained the worldwide exclusive license to the technology from UC. The exclusive license applies to all divisions, continuations in part, extensions and renewals of patents initially issued in connection with the core invention.
In addition to the inventions made in conjunction with UCSB, GRT has also generated intellectual property on its own and remains the sole owner of these inventions. To date, GRT has received notification of allowance on several of its patent applications on various aspects of its technology, as may be seen in the hyperlinks below, and others are anticipated. GRT has obtained patent protection in many foreign countries and will continue to seek international protection where warranted. Throughout the commercialization path, GRT will vigorously continue to protect its Intellectual Property.
