January 21, 2010 – Unidym Inc. says it has completed three agreements to nonexclusively license out its intellectual property related to carbon nanotubes (CNT) for use in applications including aerospace and military.

The three deals are as follows:

– A unidentified large Japanese materials company, for technology (US Patent #6,852,410) covering use of CNTs to make high-performance carbon fibers for structural composites

– Torrey Pines Technologies, a San Diego-based maker of RF, microelectronics, and automated equipment, for a suite of patents related to using vertically aligned nanotubes and nanofibers as thermal interface materials.

– Nano Lab, a Boston-based manufacturer of vertically aligned CNTs, for technology (US Patent #6,863,942) covering growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on certain substrates.

"Licensing our IP outside of our core market in printable electronic materials, illustrates the breadth of Unidym’s patent portfolio," said Mark Tilley, CEO of Unidym, in a statement. "In-line with our strategy to monetize the value of our IP, we will continue to seek revenue generating licensing opportunities beyond the markets in which we intend to sell our high-margin electronic inks and films."
