PROFILE |
 |
Scipher's R&D business isn't hard to figure out. The research and development company, which owns hundreds of patents in the electronics, magnetics, and optics fields, develops technologies at its CRL lab, then markets them through subsidiaries. Its QED intellectual property (IP) unit licenses Scipher's own patents, and provides similar IP services for clients including IBM, Marconi, and British Telecommunications. Scipher's various product lines include 3-D audio software, liquid crystal displays, broadcast and Internet monitoring technology, wireless network connectivity devices, carbon monoxide gas sensors, and secure identification products. About two-thirds of the company's sales come from outside the UK.
