Does anyone know if Saint Jean Carbon Inc. has any Patents on the Tech.
Intellectual Property Ownership
The patents we see contributing most towards an appreciation of share price value near-term are the two for spherical carbon coated graphite, they are 100% owned by St. Jean Carbon Inc. There are also large number of patents that the Company co-owns 50:50 with universities, these often do not get coverage in press releases. Anything the Company does with Western University, or Waterloo, and others are considered shared 50:50; SJL.V shares in ownership and (eventual) royalties 50:50, however important to note is that SJL.V retains exclusive first right of refusal to use it. On the patents that are 100% SJL.V owned, anything the Company does with the university that is done on an 'engagement basis', which means the Canadian government pays the university for SJL.V, the Company owns the technology and shareholders benefit from the research without the burden of dilution. To date on patents submitted no one has come forth and challenged or said they are doing it too. Important to note is that most of the R&D is accomplished via without shareholder dilution
