TTG to Handle Licensing of Security Printing Technology
|
Reprinted from GATF World, Sept./Oct., 1998
Technology Transfer Group (TTG) was
recently awarded the worldwide rights to represent and license
the anti-copying KOPOUT® security printing technology
invented and patented by GATF.
 TTG, a wholly owned division of Polestar
Ltd., Flatts, Bermuda, specializes in technology transfers
in
the security printing field. The company will help market
and will negotiate all licensing agreements for this technology
on behalf of GATF. Licenses will be offered to printers around
the world on a category and geographic basis.
Relative ease of application and low cost are expected to
make KOPOUT an attractive option in security printing. Developed
by GATF as an offshoot of its research on security papers
for the U.S. Government, KOPOUT combines the use of specially
coated metallized or plasticized paper with a deffractive
optical variable device to thwart the copying of information.
The technology has received a U.S. Patent and U.S. Trademark
Registration.
TTG is headed by Wendell Smith, former Chairman and CEO of
Baldwin Technologies and one of TTG's founders. TTG currently
represents technologies of the Globe Ticket and Label Co.
of Atlanta, Georgia, and the NovaVision Co. of Bowling Green,
Ohio, in select markets throughout the world. Phone (Bermuda)
