Spanish Company Licenses its Patented 'Continuous String' Process
Spain-based Mondragon Assembly has obtained a licensing arrangement for its license for "continuous string" process, which has been its intellectual property because 2013. This process includes manufacturing a continuous string, which means any type of damaging effects arising from "first" and also "last" cell can be gotten rid of, therefore increasing the device's performance by 10%, claimed the business.
