Cavitation Technologies, Inc. (CTi), a leading ESG company specializing in flow-through nano-technology systems for fluid processing, has announced a significant agreement with Desmet Belgium S.A. The deal, signed on October 14, 2024, will allow CTi to monetize certain U.S. and non-U.S. patents and related intellectual property that have been licensed to Desmet for use in vegetable oil, fats, and oleo applications globally.
Under the terms of the agreement, CTi will assign and transfer several patents and associated technical information to Desmet, along with ownership of two U.S. trademark registrations for Nano Neutralization® and Nano Reactor®. However, CTi will retain a worldwide, exclusive, transferable, and royalty-free license to use the assigned patents and technical information in specific fields, including water and wastewater processing, and the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages.
This strategic move allows CTi to maintain its core business operations while unlocking the value of its intellectual property. Neil Voloshin, CTi’s CEO, emphasized the importance of this transaction, stating that it will ‘generate substantial capital for the Company, providing support for our current business plans, without any dilution of our shareholders.’
The agreement is particularly significant for CTi’s future growth and development. By monetizing its IP portfolio while retaining crucial licenses, the company positions itself to continue innovating in its primary business lines. This includes the design, manufacture, and sale of Nano Reactor® devices and systems within the licensed fields, as well as the continued use of the Nano Reactor® trademark in connection with its business activities.
For investors and industry observers, this deal represents a strategic approach to asset management and value creation. It demonstrates CTi’s ability to leverage its intellectual property while maintaining focus on its core competencies in water treatment, alcoholic beverage enhancement, and related fields.
The transaction is expected to be completed within ten days of the announcement, upon CTi’s delivery of assignment instruments and related documents to Desmet. This timely execution underscores the company’s commitment to efficient business operations and value realization for its stakeholders.
Desmet, as the recipient of these intellectual property rights, stands to benefit from expanded capabilities in the vegetable oil, fats, and oleo applications sectors. As a leading global provider of custom-engineered plants and equipment for the food, feed, and biofuels industries, Desmet’s acquisition of these patents and trademarks could potentially enhance its market position and technological offerings.
The implications of this agreement extend beyond the immediate financial benefits for CTi. It showcases a model for how technology companies can strategically manage their IP portfolios to support growth and innovation. By retaining rights in key areas while monetizing others, CTi demonstrates a nuanced approach to intellectual property management that could serve as a template for other companies in the tech and engineering sectors.
As the industry continues to evolve, deals like this highlight the increasing importance of intellectual property as a strategic asset. For CTi, this agreement not only provides immediate financial benefits but also sets the stage for continued innovation and growth in its core business areas of water treatment and beverage enhancement technologies.
Investors and industry analysts will likely be watching closely to see how CTi leverages this influx of capital and how it affects the company’s future research and development efforts, particularly in its retained fields of expertise. The success of this strategy could have far-reaching implications for how other companies in the sector approach their IP management and monetization strategies.
