Important results from the project
The company is developing a new industrial textile that replaces lubricants when thin sheet metal is pressed. New technology and knowledge are developed in parallel with product development, and the company has therefore developed strategies for intellectual property rights and know-how to aim to strengthen the company´s business tools, competitiveness, value and business position. Both previously known intellectual property rights and know-how, as well as new ones, have together formed a platform for creating and exploiting these opportunities.
Expected long term effects
An IP strategy has been developed for Tribotextil AB. The developed intellectual property strategy is essential and an important business tool that protects the company´s current and future developed products, manufacturing processes and know-how and strengthens the company´s competitiveness. The IP strategy is implemented in the company´s operations and provides a platform for various industrial and business partnerships. The IP strategy clarifies the values in the company and also facilitates the company´s continued funding.
