Business Summary
REFAC is a consulting firm with expertise in product development, graphic design and communications, and licensing. In addition to its fee-for-service consulting business, the Company seeks opportunities to invest the industrial and graphic design services of REFACDesign and the licensing capabilities of REFAC Licensing in new product development ventures involving brands and/or technologies. In such instances, the Company shares in the cost and risk of brand and product development in return for future royalties or venture equity. An example of such an investment is its formation of REFAC Consumer Products, Inc. (RCP) and the acquisition of manufacturing and marketing licenses from MTV Consumer Products (electronic music products), Pennzoil (automotive-related products) and Volkswagen (New Beetle clock radio, sport radio and travel alarm clock).
