PLANO, Texas, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Interested in
getting the benefits from a world-renowned research and development
company that invests over $1 million
per hour, without actually having to spend $1 million per hour? Well, Toyota has just the
program for you. Today, Toyota revealed a new program to license
its Intellectual Property to interested parties. The program is
called Toyota IP Solutions and it is intended to help promote and
serve as an access point for the licensing of patents to US and
global companies.
"As one of the world's leading patent providers, our
intellectual property spans a wide range of technologies. We're
excited that the various technologies now being offered via the
Toyota IP Solutions program are not limited to the automotive
industry and many can be applied to other products," said
Chris Reynolds, chief administration
officer, Manufacturing and Corporate Resources for Toyota Motor
North America (TMNA).
Initially, the patent portfolios available for licensing will be
in four areas: Omnidirectional Structural Color, Bio-Active
Material, Nano-Material Synthesis, and Electronics Thermal
Management. Additional portfolios are now being assessed and will
be offered in the future on a continuing basis.
The Omnidirectional Structural Color portfolio showcases
innovative pigment compounds capable of reflecting specific
wavelengths of light. These complex yet captivating compounds
create a vibrant, deep and lustrous color across all viewing
angles.
The Bio-Active Cleaning Materials portfolio showcases innovative
compositions of enzymes capable of breaking down organic materials,
making stains and spills much easier to clean. These effective yet
gentle enzymes can even remove insect bodies, fingerprints and
other debris from the surfaces of automobiles. The patented
bioactive enzymes can be incorporated into various substances,
including paint coatings, cleaning fluids and furniture waxes.
The Nano-Material Synthesis portfolio showcases novel
compositions and methods which provide for quick and cost-effective
production of high purity nanomaterials of virtually any chemical
element or alloy. The technology will even allow for the synthesis
of extremely high-quality electrodes and rare-earth-free strong
magnets.
The Electronics Thermal Management portfolio showcases cooling
strategies that can be integrated into a power-dense electronics
system to quickly control and dissipate the heat generated by the
system. These patented materials, designs and methods can be
incorporated into many types of systems, particularly small form
factor systems, to decrease the overall heat load. As a result,
more power-dense and efficient systems can be created.
