LICENSING PROCESS

---

Farad Technologies Group approaches licensing as a collaborative and transparent process intended to support responsible innovation, commercial deployment, and long-term market growth.

Licensing discussions are designed to be non-adversarial, informational, and exploratory in nature, with the goal of providing clarity and alignment rather than disruption.

Organizations may initiate a licensing conversation at any time by reaching out for an informal discussion.

At this stage:

• No assumptions are made regarding implementation status
   
• No legal determinations are asserted
   
• No commitments are required
   

The purpose of the initial inquiry is simply to establish context and understand the nature of the organization’s technology or platform.

If appropriate, an optional technical discussion may follow.

This discussion focuses on:

• High-level system architecture
   
• Functional characteristics of the platform
   
• How energy, energy attributes, or related digital units are represented and recorded
   

This step is informational and intended to determine whether the patented systems and methods are relevant to the organization’s use case.

Where alignment exists, Farad Technologies Group may outline potential licensing paths tailored to the organization’s scope and scale.

Licensing structures may vary based on factors such as:

• Nature of the deployment
   
• Geographic scope
   
• Operational scale
   
• Stage of development
   

Licensing discussions are conducted with commercial reasonableness and flexibility in mind.

If both parties elect to proceed, licensing terms are documented through appropriate legal agreements.

These agreements are designed to:

• Provide legal clarity and certainty
   
• Support continued innovation and growth
   
• Preserve non-exclusive market participation
   

The licensing process is guided by the following principles:

• Collaboration over confrontation
   
• Transparency over ambiguity
   
• Clarity over complexity
   
• Long-term alignment over short-term pressure
   

Farad Technologies Group recognizes that the energy blockchain sector is evolving rapidly and believes that constructive licensing supports healthy ecosystem development.
