CellPoint and Metafax signs strategic license agreement!
CellPoint Connect AB and Metafax AS has signed a strategic license agreement which grants both
companies access to each others IPR (Intellectual Property Right) on Bluetooth headsets.
Metafax has a global patent on a fastening device, the ”C-shape” headset. CellPoint has a patentpending
”EarClick” technology, used on the award winning Flamingo Bluetooth headset.
Metafax has developed ”Freebit” headset. The company has a patent in the USA, Asia and a patent
pending in Europe for its ”C Shape mould”. The C-shape makes a perfect fit and makes it comfortable in
the outer ear.
CellPoint has developed the Flamingo headset with ”EarClick”, a system with exchangeable ear pads for
ergonomic and individual fit in the outer ear.
CellPoint and Metafax see new opportunities internationally with this strategic agreement. It allows each
company to use the other’s IPR to develop its products. The agreement opens up for both the distributionand
sales channels for the Flamingo and Freebit. The companies together will be better prepared to take
larger market shares and better meet the challenges on the international market currently dominated by
other large players.
Michael Mathiesen, Chairman of the Board for CellPoint says: ”- Metafax has a well functioning patented
technology which our product developer will be able to use to strengthen our own solutions for comfort
and ear fit. Our company is in the international top layer and we have won awards for innovative design
and comfort with the Flamingo. A month ago we won an award for our new product Flamingo Stereo. The
agreement with Metafax strengthens CellPoint’s position further.” He adds: ”- Both companies stand
stronger internationally with this agreement.”
Vidar Sandanger, CEO in Metafax AS says:”- For Metafax, who primarily shall seek out OEM
opportunities in joint ventures with producers of mobile phones and accessories and license its patented
technology globally, the agreement with CellPoint will give us a national and international breakthrough. It
is an acknowledgement of our patent that a company such as CellPoint sees commercial opportunities
and potential improvements by using our technology in the Flamingo and the other products in their
portfolio. With CellPoint’s distribution and sales channels in Europe, USA, Canada and China, the
agreement also opens up for new and exciting business and co-operation possibilities.
