Deadline to Acquire BeamReach Solar Intellectual Property Extended
NEW YORK, July 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- OB Realty, LLC, an affiliate of Opus Bank, the former secured lender to BeamReach Solar, is pleased to announce that since April, it has received two patent grants [US and AU], nine notice of allowances [CN (1), EP (3) and US (5)] and filed 14 new applications [US (13) and JP (1)], including an application directed at a further cost-savings for the structure of the Sprint solar system technology.
Because of these new additions to the BeamReach patent portfolio and recent interest from strategic corporations outside the solar cell manufacturing segment, the diligence period will remain open until 5PM Eastern Time on September 15, 2017. All offers should be submitted no later than this deadline. Opus Bank will evaluate offers as they are received.
The portfolio of IP and know-how is attracting interest from companies with application for thin film flexible PV cells, such as automobile and roof shingle and tile companies, as well as commercial and utility scale installers interested in lightweight and rapid deployment racking systems. Beyond solar, drug delivery companies have expressed interest in BeamReach's porous silicon technology.
Parties interested in learning more about these BeamReach intellectual property assets, the sale process, and other bidding requirements should contact the parties below. A virtual diligence room is available for all interested parties.
The team continues to make significant progress selling the tangible portions of the BeamReach Solar inventory of equipment and assembled Sprint Solar Panels for direct installation on roofs.
Stephen Shea, former VP of Cell Engineering and Operations at BeamReach Solar and an expert with more than 30 years in the solar industry, will be attending the July 11-13 Intersolar North America Exhibition in San Francisco. Kindly contact Mr. Shea (stephen@beamreachassets.com or (m) 404-276-6103) or any of the below parties to arrange for a meeting during the Exhibition.
The following list provides the world wide granted patent assets of BeamReach Solar, as of 6 July 2017. The confidential data room contains the full list of BeamReach Solar assets, including granted patents and pending patent applications (by technology grouping), equipment and inventory.
