LONDON (Alliance News) - Technology and intellectual property services provider Tekcapital PLC on Thursday said it has acquired the exclusive licence to an additional energy harvesting technology from the University of Michigan.
The patent application covers additional scientific developments that have been made subsequent to Tekcapital's initial energy harvesting technology licence from the university, which it received in June.
The patent application will seek to protect a novel design for a subliminal, in-shoe energy-harvesting device which may be used to generate power from walking, running and jumping for recharging mobile devices.
"We believe the acquisition of the exclusive licence to this additional energy harvesting patent application further strengthens our intellectual property position in the energy harvesting space. Our goal is to prepare the technology for sublicensing to a major footwear manufacturer. We are actively engaged in testing a prototype utilising this technology and will update the market in due course," Chairman Clifford Gross said in a statement.
