"The filing of this international patent application is a major milestone for the commercialization of recombinant spider-silk and of Monster Silk most particularly," said the Company's founder and CEO, Kim K Thompson. "Now that the international application has been filed, we are in a position to move aggressively with product and commercialization ramp up. It also places us in a stronger position for corporate engagement and business development."
"The commercial license agreement which the Company signed last month with the University covers these technologies and gives Kraig Biocraft Laboratories the exclusive global right to market the products and technologies described in the patent application," continued Thompson. "We see this filing in Geneva, coupled with our license agreements with the University of Wyoming, the University of Notre Dame and our license agreement with Sigma-Aldrich, as the corner stones of our expanding intellectual property portfolio.
