Precise enters into license agreement with Isorg to provide a new technology of fingerprint sensors to the mobile industry
Precise has on 23 December 2022 entered into a commercial licensing agreement with Isorg, a France-based leader in organic optical sensors, to provide a new fingerprint technology to the mobile industry. Under the initial agreement period until end of 2024, Precise will receive minimum approximately SEK 11 million in fixed license and support fees. In addition, Precise will receive future royalties based on the actual number of fingerprint sensors when they are sold and installed in mobile phones.
The new commercial agreement with Isorg is in line with Precise’s growth strategy within Algo to establish partnerships with new sensor vendors and utilizing the company’s expertise also for new sensor types.
“This partnership proves the strength of our fingerprint technology and how we are able to develop and optimize our algorithms to secure market-leading performance for the most technically advanced fingerprint sensors. Through the new partnership with Isorg, we are strengthening our go-to-market channels in line with our growth strategy for Algo, and further capitalizing on our strong position in the mobile market”, says Patrick Höijer, CEO of Precise.
The agreement will contribute with approximately SEK 600 thousand in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the remaining fixed license and support fees will be evenly distributed over the initial period until 31 December 2024.
