ERT owns these patents, which are process patents, which are licensesed out to manufacturers of products who pay an upfront licence fee plus annual royalties based on production to ERT. Licensees can grant sub-licences, from which ERT would also receive pass through royalties on every product sold.

Ken Brooks, Chairman of ERT plc commented: " The grant of these patents strengthens ERTs patent portfolio yet further. The company will be exhibiting at ChinaPlas 2013 in Guangzhou, China between 20-23 May 2013. Chinaplas attracts companies from around the world. With the additional granted patents our ability to licence PIM in further overseas territories is good news for the company."
