ipCapital Group Finds Integral to be the Indisputable IP Leader in Resin-Based Conductive Materials
BELLINGHAM, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG.ob - News) (“Integral”), (www.electriplast.com) today announces that ipCapital Group (www.ipcg.com) (“ipCapital”), a leading intellectual property (IP) strategy consulting firm, has completed a comprehensive study of Integral’s IP portfolio related to its proprietary ElectriPlast™ technology.
“We found that Integral is the indisputable leader in the resin-based conductive materials field, with the most issued U.S. patents and published patent applications,” said John Cronin, Managing Director of ipCapital. “This is an impressive finding, especially for a micro-cap company in a field of over 600 separate entities/companies that have filed patents across a wide range of product applications for resin-based conductive materials,” continued Cronin.
“These findings suggest to us that there are endless opportunities for extracting value and monetizing Integral’s core ElectriPlast™ technology and current and future IP," said Cronin. ”Using the results of this recent IP landscape study, the continued alliance of Integral and ipCapital will optimize Integral’s IP strategy to build further value for strategic partners, customers and shareholders.
“We are delighted to be working with John Cronin and his very accomplished team at ipCapital and excited with the findings, that point to Integral as the IP leader in this large and growing industry,” said Integral’s CEO, Bill Robinson. "From the filing of our first patent we have been committed to developing our technology, protecting our IP leadership and strengthening and expanding our patent portfolio.”
“It is not difficult to understand why ipCapital concluded that ElectriPlast™ is the leader in this field,” says CEO Robinson. “Integral’s ElectriPlast™ technology represents a major breakthrough for electrically conductive resins. Independent tests have shown repeatedly that the ElectriPlast™ technology possesses superior electrical and electrostatic shielding properties compared to other conductive plastics over a wide frequency spectrum from Direct Current (DC) to Ultra-High frequency (UHF). It is unique among its competitors, which it outperforms by over 40%. It is as efficient as metal – in some applications even more so – yet is 40-60% lighter.”
Robinson emphasized the importance to future sales of Integral’s leading IP position and ElectriPlast’s™ unique characteristics: “Our current IP already encompasses a wide variety of processes and methods, which gives us superior leverage in the rapid global commercialization of ElectriPlast™. As a result of this game-changing technology, our position as the IP leader in the resin-based conductive materials field will turn us into a sales leader.”

Integral Technologies
Integral Technologies, Inc. (www.electriplast.com) is the developer of an innovative electrically conductive resin-based material called “ElectriPlast™,” a highly conductive recipe that can be molded into virtually any shape or dimension associated with the range of plastics, rubbers and other polymers. Integral Technologies is an emerging leader in the development and application of next-generation conductive polymer materials. We currently have 50 issued US patents relating to the composition, manufacture and application of our ElectriPlast™ technology, and we continue to develop and protect new intellectual property. Our IP consists of ElectriPlast™ and multitudes of different applications pertinent to a wide variety of industries. No assurances can be given that all patent applications will be approved; however, to the extent that patents are not granted, we will continue to attempt to commercialize these technologies without the protection of patents. Various examples of industries where ElectriPlast™ can be used are antennas, shielding, lighting, circuitry, switch actuators, resistors, and medical devices, to name just a few. The company is currently introducing these new products and ElectriPlast™ technology on a Global scale.
