GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla., Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MDWerks, Inc. (“MDWerks” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: MDWK), a forward-thinking company leading the charge in the world of sustainable technology, today announced that a nationally recognized tax, valuation, and financial advisory firm has estimated a fair market valuation for certain of the Company’s key patents, trademarks and trade names (collectively, the “Subject IP”) totaling approximately
Jim Cassidy, Executive Chairman of MDWerks, commented, “We engaged an independent firm to appraise the value of our key intellectual property globally across our businesses and we are pleased to gain insight into the intrinsic value of our patents, trademarks and trade names. Their analysis underscores the substantial value of our underlying technology and brands. MDWerks’ expertise in energy wave technologies has led to multiple breakthroughs with industrial and commercial applications. Moreover, we are actively engaged in negotiating contracts with new customers that may further enhance the value of MDWerks’ intellectual property.”
The Subject IP
MDWerks and its subsidiaries are the assignees of three foundational patents (the "Patents"), the Two Trees® brand name, and multiple trademarks and trade names (the "Trademarks and Trade Names") (collectively, the "Subject IP"). Key to the Patents is the use of microwave radio energy that can be finely tuned to provide specific molecular targeting, yielding controlled dipole rotation of those molecules, resulting in frictional molecular heating of only those specific molecules. Further, microwave radio energy can be applied at precise and multiple locations in a system, in ways that conventional single point heat sources cannot, resulting in improved efficiency, higher quality, and reduced processing time.
Application of Patented Technology by Two Trees
Within the alcoholic beverages market, the Company’s award-winning Two Trees Beverage Company (“Two Trees”) subsidiary is leveraging the Company’s foundational Patents in its aging process (the Sustainably Matured™ method) to accelerate the physical and chemical changes that occur during the aging of spirits without altering the natural process. The Company’s aging process uses the same ingredients as traditional aging does with wood, water, and alcohol, while activating the same conversion of acids into esters. The ingredients are placed in a stainless-steel tank and introduced to a proprietary electrical current technology. Radio waves cause the pores in the wood to open, transferring tannins and hemicellulose to the spirits.
The advantages of the Company’s Sustainably Matured™ method over conventional processes include the following:
- Ability to experiment with intriguing flavor profiles across a variety of spirits categories using a unique combination of flavoring and wood types, including those that cannot be used to make barrels;
- Speed and scalability;
85% to90% less wood consumption, while eliminating the need to house barrels for multiple years; and- Lower carbon footprint and greater environmental sustainability.
Application of Patented Technology by RFS
Within industrial segments, the Company’s RF Specialties, LLC (“RFS”) subsidiary is leveraging the Company’s foundational Patents in its proprietary energy wave technologies to provide sustainable manufacturing solutions to customers in the engineered wood, structural wood, and adhesives space. Utilizing its energy wave expertise, RFS designs and builds custom manufacturing equipment that enables more efficient production lines, lower costs and greater environmental sustainability.
Future Opportunities for Company’s Patented Technology
The Company believes that its Patent portfolio can be applied beneficially in various segments, including:
- Desalination: improvements over conventional systems that require high energy consumption
- Municipal wastewater and sewage: improvements over conventional systems that require high chemical usage
- Efficient heating for buildings and water: improvements over conventional systems that use single point heat sources
- Pyrolysis: improvements over conventional systems that use single point heat sources
- Incineration: improvements over conventional systems that incinerate in a central location
- Petroleum refining: utilization of microwave radio energy during the esterification process presents advantages to current industry processes that employ sulfuric acid and other potentially harmful chemicals
- Broader food and beverage sector
- Pharmaceuticals
