This technology is designed to enhance the effectiveness of water injection systems used in turf and soil maintenance, potentially providing a competitive advantage in the market.

However, Dryject believes their patents are important and intends to exercise their best efforts to protect them. If litigation involving the Patents is instituted or threatened against a franchisee, the franchisee must notify Dryject promptly and cooperate fully with them in defending or settling the litigation. Should Dryject elect to protect the Patents or protect a franchisee against claims of infringement, they will have the right to control any litigation involving a patent licensed by them to the franchisee.
