Intellectual Property

MICRO BEEF TECHNOLOGIES believes in intellectual property respect and protection. Therefore, MBT has filed for patent protection on the valuable innovations developed through our continual research and development program. Micro Beef also owns numerous copyrights and trademarks whether associated with software, trade names, or other materials.

Likewise, MBT also acquires the necessary patent licenses when the scope of a new idea or system developed by MBT overlaps areas with existing intellectual property. MBT also obtains licensing arrangements when features from another system are desirable to incorporate into either a new or an existing technology offered by Micro Beef.

Among the numerous inventions introduced by MBT, most of the systems and technologies listed below are so unique that they have been awarded United States, and/or Canadian, and/or Australian patents. Some of the following patents are owned by MBT while others are licensed by MBT:
