ExxonMobil Gives Coatings Patents to Eastern Michigan U.
YPSILANTI, MI — Eastern Michigan University (EMU) said it has received its largest single gift ever — the donation of more than 20 U.S. coatings patents from ExxonMobil Chemical Co. The donation also includes more than 50 patent and patent-application equivalents worldwide.
The patents will be used to develop new technologies at the university’s Coatings Research Institute (CRI), and the university is studying licensing possibilities, said EMU’s Frank N. Jones.
