DarkPulse, Inc. (DPLS) entered into an Exclusive Patent License Agreement with the U.S. Government, represented by the Department of the Air Force, covering six issued U.S. patents related to satellite power sharing, satellite communications and laser-generation technologies. The agreement grants DarkPulse an exclusive license in the United States, in all fields of use, while the U.S. Government retains irrevocable, royalty-free rights for governmental purposes and can require sublicenses to meet public-use needs.
DarkPulse must use its best efforts to develop and commercialize products under a development plan, including rolling out a product within 30 months, submitting annual progress reports, and substantially manufacturing any royalty-based product in the United States. Sublicensing and assignment generally require Air Force approval, and the agreement can be terminated by the Air Force for nonpayment, failure to execute the development plan, substantial breach, willful misstatements, or specified insolvency events, and by DarkPulse on one month’s notice. The company highlighted risks that it may not meet development milestones, financial obligations, or achieve market acceptance for products based on the licensed technology.
