"We continue to strengthen and extend the protection of our intellectual property and the industrial value linked to Minesto's technology. Our IP strategy is as simple as it is effective: we systematically extend the protection of the core technology by `shielding' the main patent with complementary patents related to supporting subsystems and offshore processes. Through this, we create significant commercial value for Minesto and its shareholders", said Dr Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.
