Kopin receives CLARUS Award from MDB Capital

Kopin Corp of Taunton, MA, USA, which makes III-V heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) epiwafers and CyberDisplay LCDs micro-displays for mobile applications including smartphones, tablet PCs, military thermal weapons sights and wearable computers, has received the CLARUS Award, presented by MDB Capital Group at the second annual Bright Lights Conference in New York City.

Kopin was selected by PatentVest (MDB’s proprietary IP business intelligence platform) as one of the 40 most innovative public companies from more than 1500 small-cap companies with granted US patents. Firms were selected on the basis of their rate of innovative change as well as the uniqueness, quality and industry impact of their patents.

“Intellectual property is an integral part of the success of our products using innovative nano-technologies, and we are pleased to have our strong IP portfolio recognized with this award,” says Kopin’s president & CEO Dr. John C.C. Fan. “We continue to advance our IP strategy, pursuing patents on new innovations and discoveries related to our III-V transistors, Golden-i wearable headset computer, and display technologies,” he adds.

“Kopin was the top company in its industry with the highest Tech Score and number of patent grants, and we are honored to recognize their achievements in driving IP as an asset class and the impact they are making on innovation in America,” comments MDB Capital Group’s CEO Christopher A. Marlett.

The Bright Lights Conference is said to be the only conference with an exclusive focus on publicly traded companies possessing disruptive and market-changing IP, providing institutional investors with a venue to discover the largely unrecognized value of embedded IP.
