VWP-Gruber's patent portfolio for diesel and plant oil Flex-Fuel engine systems include prechamber, combustion chamber, TDI and pump injection engines. The expansion of the patent portfolio for Common-Rail-Flex Fuel engines has already been concluded with trademark rights on innovative algorithms for function and emission control.
In the area of fuel development, fuel quality and the production of 2nd generation pure plant oil in decentralised oil presses according to currently applicable fuel norms DIN 51605 (for canola oil) and/or DIN 51623 (for plant oils), VWP has central trademark rights on lowering phosphorus, alkali and alkaline earth to prescribed standard limits.
VWP offers the issued trademarks for plant oil technologies and the related know-how for engine adaptations on the free market and/or assigns licences and sells the know-how for it.
In addition to trademarks, VWP also offers know-how for researched preliminary results, new products, procedures and applications. On request, VWP supports the further development and utilisation of results by clients with ideas, successive protective rights, analytical and experimental services and demo-projects.
Licensing has been provided for companies, KMU corporations and foundations across all engine and fuel generations. Licensing for patent licences and known-how has been an important marketing tool for generating income since the company was founded, and for accelerating the distribution of protected plant oil technology.
Its unique position with regard to patents gives VWP-Gruber verifiable market opportunities in a growth market of the future. The continuous expansion of the patent portfolio is an important milestone for VWP in entrepreneurial development, in order to assert its leading position when it comes to plant oil motors and sustainable 2nd generation quality fuels.
