The joint venture, called Innovative Building Technologies, LLC (IBT) and based in Seattle, WA, will own the patent portfolio as it aims for markets in China, Japan and Vietnam. According to prnewswire.com, CollinsWoerman and its affiliate, Sustainable Living Innovations, LLC will market the technology in North America. Arlan Collins, Principal of CollinsWoerman, commented: “We believe everyone can live and/or work in buildings that support human health, build community, and are easy on the environment. Buildings assembled from component parts can deliver these extraordinary results – that’s why we developed this technology.” ##
