The Research and Development Philosophy employed by RLA is one geared towards a true sense of partnership, as well as strong continued incentive for successful and timely project completion.
RLA employs a step-by-step approach to Research and Development projects, with programs mapped out over a series of well-defined phases and milestones.
At no time does the client's obligation extend beyond the phase of the project currently in progress.
Costs during developmental phases are kept to a minimum, both to reduce client risk and help foster a successful partnership.
RLA transfers rights to the Intellectual Property developed during the course of the project to the client for its required use, in return for royalties, consumable manufacturing rights, or a combination of both.
Through this philosophy of partnership, RLA has entered into strategic alliances and long term Joint Ventures resulting in:
| Facilitated commercial development |
| Accelerated "to market" time |
| Increased technology breadth |
| Marketing partnerships |
| Win-win opportunities |
