July 14, 2016 – MonoSol Rx LLC, a specialty pharmaceutical company leveraging its PharmFilm® drug delivery technology to improve patient outcomes and to address unmet needs, and MonoSol LLC, the Kuraray Company’s water soluble film division, announce an agreement through which MonoSol LLC will receive a perpetual license to MonoSol Rx’s intellectual property (IP) for use in defined areas outside of pharmaceuticals in exchange for undisclosed financial terms. This license agreement gives MonoSol LLC access to MonoSol Rx’s patent estate for detergent, agrochemicals, oil and gas and water treatment applications.
MonoSol Rx is the worldwide leader in film-based drug delivery applications while MonoSol LLC is the worldwide leader in soluble unit dose non-pharmaceutical applications. MonoSol LLC and MonoSol Rx became separate entities in January of 2004.
