Why License from WayvGear?

14
Registered Patents

Method patents grounded in physics — protect principles, not just implementations. Broadest possible claim coverage.

50K
Hour Lamp Life

5x longer than HPS systems. Eliminates magnetron replacement maintenance cycles. Total cost of ownership advantage.

0–3%
KORUS FTA Duty

Korean-origin finished goods enter the US market at 0–3% duty. Structural landed-cost advantage for North American licensees.

Full
Spectrum Coverage

Continuous solar spectrum output — the only grow light technology that fully serves every plant photoreceptor system.

Transfer
Technology Package

Licensing includes full technology transfer, integration engineering support, and documentation for commercial deployment.

ROW
Geographic Exclusivity

ROW markets outside Korea and Singapore available. North America, Europe, MENA, APAC, and LatAm opportunities open.

License Scope

WayvGear licenses its RF plasma technology portfolio for rest-of-world (ROW) commercial deployment — all markets outside Korea and Singapore, which are WayvGear's portfolio home markets where the technology is manufactured and primarily deployed. A commercial license includes access to the full 14-patent KIPO-registered portfolio along with the technology transfer package, integration support, and ongoing royalty structure described below.

What's Included in a Commercial License

WayvGear commercial licenses are structured to enable licensees to deploy, integrate, and scale RF plasma technology in their target markets — not merely to receive a patent grant with no operational support.

Target Markets & Applications

North America

Primary target market. KORUS FTA provides 0–3% duty on Korean-origin finished goods entering the US — a structural cost advantage that competing technologies manufactured elsewhere cannot match.

  • Controlled environment agriculture (CEA)
  • Vertical farms and indoor cannabis
  • Industrial lighting and processing
  • Research institution partnerships

Europe

Strong CEA market with established vertical farm operators and commercial greenhouse infrastructure. EU market demands high-quality, low-pesticide produce — RF plasma's superior spectrum quality aligns with premium crop positioning.

  • Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia priority
  • Commercial greenhouse modernization
  • Vertical farm new builds
  • Specialty crop and herb production

Middle East & North Africa

MENA region is experiencing large-scale CEA investment driven by food security mandates and limited arable land. Year-round controlled environment agriculture is a strategic national priority in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar.

  • Food security CEA programs
  • Government-backed agricultural infrastructure
  • Desert climate vertical farm deployments
  • Industrial processing applications

Southeast Asia

High-growth agricultural technology market with significant vertical farming activity in Singapore (excluded from licensing — portfolio home market), Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Tropical climate creates strong CEA demand for year-round consistent production.

  • Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia
  • Urban vertical farming
  • Export-quality crop production
  • Industrial manufacturing applications

Latin America

Emerging market with growing CEA adoption, particularly in Mexico (USMCA trade area), Chile, and Brazil. Mexican operations can leverage USMCA supply chain integration with US markets for combined North American CEA positioning.

  • Mexico — USMCA market integration
  • Chile — premium produce export
  • Brazil — large domestic market
  • Cannabis licensing markets

Industrial Applications

Beyond agriculture, RF plasma technology applies to industrial surface treatment, materials processing, sterilization, and semiconductor manufacturing applications. Same core patent portfolio, application-specific cavity and power configurations.

  • Surface treatment and coating
  • Food sterilization processing
  • Material modification
  • Semiconductor plasma processes

The KORUS FTA Advantage

0–3%
US Import Duty

The Korea–United States Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA) provides preferential duty treatment for Korean-origin goods entering the United States. WayvGear systems, manufactured in Korea using Korean-origin components, qualify for KORUS FTA treatment — entering the US market at 0–3% duty versus the standard MFN rates applicable to competing products manufactured in China, Taiwan, or Europe.

For North American licensees deploying WayvGear-manufactured systems, this duty differential represents a structural landed-cost advantage that improves ROI on capital equipment purchases and strengthens competitive positioning in the US market. In the current tariff environment, Korean-origin manufacturing provides additional insulation against trade policy volatility affecting competing manufacturing geographies.

Application Areas

Agriculture & Controlled Environment

The primary application for WayvGear ROW licensing is controlled environment agriculture — the full category of indoor growing operations from research chambers through commercial greenhouses and multi-story vertical farms. RF plasma lighting's continuous spectrum advantage is most pronounced in high-value crop categories: cannabis, herbs, specialty greens, flowers, and premium produce.

Licensees in the agriculture segment receive crop-specific configuration guidance alongside the technology transfer package, including spectral tuning parameters for key crop species, photoperiod management protocols, and integration specifications for environmental control systems.

Industrial Lighting

Industrial plasma lighting applications encompass high-bay warehouse and factory illumination, outdoor infrastructure lighting, and specialized process lighting for manufacturing environments. RF plasma's continuous spectrum, long service life, and solid-state reliability make it well suited for industrial environments where lamp replacement is operationally disruptive and maintenance access is limited.

Industrial licensing terms are structured on a per-unit royalty basis with volume tiers that reflect the economics of commercial-scale lighting deployments.

Manufacturing & Processing

RF plasma has established industrial applications in surface treatment, polymer modification, food sterilization, and semiconductor process applications. WayvGear's method patents on plasma generation, cavity design, and impedance control cover the foundational elements of these applications, creating licensing opportunities in manufacturing sectors beyond agriculture and lighting.

Not Available: Korea & Singapore

Licensing is not available for Korea or Singapore. These are WayvGear's portfolio home markets — Korea is the primary manufacturing and deployment base (including the Saemangeum SEZ), and Singapore is reserved as a portfolio home market. All other geographies are available for ROW commercial licensing.
