Brand protection company YPB Group (YPB) has received a $250,000 cash boost following the completion of a legal battle over unpaid revenue.
YPB’s claim was first brought to light in 2020 when the group launched legal action against a third-party contractor for unpaid revenue share.
The ongoing proceedings were outlined in YPB’s 2020 and 2021 annual reports, highlighting that the company was pursuing a commercial dispute against an external party.
The contractor manufactured VariSec foil, a wholly-owned intellectual property asset of YPB, under a revenue-share agreement with YPB.
“YPB’s intellectual property portfolio is its key asset and we will vigorously protect our IP as needs be,” YPB Executive Chairman and CEO John Houston said.
The Group will receive $450,000 in free cash as a result of the legal settlement, which includes $250,000 in unpaid revenue and $200,000 through the release of a security deposit to the court.
YPB’s Variable Security Technologies, or VariSec, is a high-security stamping foil that can be used in passports, currency and controlled documents.
