$BANT Patent Rich Company: Drone Package Delivery
Post# of 278
Oct 05, 2021 (AB Digital via COMTEX) -- Michael Bannon, Bantec's Chairman and CEO stated: "We contracted with Appraisal Economics, a highly respected independent patent appraisal company, to evaluate our Patent No. U.S. 10,147,067 drone package delivery technology. Appraisal Economics concluded the patent's worth is approximately $350,000. We intend to approach big players already invested in the package delivery market such as Walmart, Amazon, FedEx, DHL, Boeing, and others with potential proposals for licensing agreements. We also intend to reach out to companies who likely infringed upon on our patent with offers of licensing agreements as well. We expect revenues from these various licensing agreements to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for Bantec. Our intention is to retain Intellectual Property counsel and begin the campaign to create these licensing arrangements in the 4th quarter.
The Delivery Drones Market reached the USD 2 billion mark in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 5.6 billion by 2026 according to a Mordor Intelligence report. The shift to contactless delivery due to COVID-19 has significantly sped up the delivery drone market movement.

The world, as we knew it, changed with Covid-19; the way we view sanitizing and deep cleaning will never be the same.

BANT Overall Company Shareholder Update
On June 8th BANT issued the following shareholders update of the full scope of company operations and plans for the future.
Howco Distributing Co.
During the six months of 2021, Howco posted a $ 102,000 operating profit. This time last year, Howco posted an $ 85,000 operating loss. BANT management is pleased with Howco's six-month performance. Recently, Matt Wiles, Howco's General Manger, resigned. BANT views Matt's departure as opportunity to cut costs at Howco. Presently, two very capable managers run Howco. One runs the estimating and procurement department the other runs the logistics side of the business. Both are long term employees, and both have proven their worth time after time. Along these lines, BANT may separate Howco into two distinct businesses: Howco and Bantec Logistics. The latter should be a Franchisable entity.
Drone USA
At Drone USA, BANT is considering making Drone USA a franchise. A Drone USA franchisee would sell drones, drone accessories, robots, training, certificates of authorization and waivers. As the drone delivery package market grows, BANT Drone USA franchisees could add drone package delivery services to their repertoire.
Bantec Sanitizing Mobile Franchise
Both the Bantec Sanitizing Business Plan and Franchise Disclosure Document are complete. BANT can sell in New Jersey which is a franchise non-filing state. Covid forever changed the way we look at cleaning; it is no longer "my desk is clean, or the carpet vacuumed" now it can be a matter of life or death. Bantec Sanitizing embeds science in the BANT cleaning process. The science will protect customers. BANT takes this seriously. Customers' health and possibly their lives depend on it.
Bantec Flooring
Currently, BANT is bidding on industrial flooring projects. Flooring ties in nicely with sanitizing. Most flooring products are porous and allow microbes to settle in and make the floors difficult to sanitize. Some of the products BANT offers are not porous and make sanitizing more effective. This will probably be the next BANT franchise.
Intellectual Property Portfolio
BANT intends to expand its intellectual property portfolio. Recently BANT acquired "a drone operated delivery receptacle receiving packages" patent. The patent designed gates "are configured to open when a delivery drone is detected by a control unit of the delivery receptacle". This patent constitutes one step on the BANT path towards the drone delivery market that we know will be big. In addition, we acquired dozens of domain names and initiated work on important trademarks.
Conclusion
The BANT difference that matters consists of establishing lifelong customer and supplier friendships, responding immediately to customers needs, and providing products and services through a highly organized, technically trained, motivated and incentivized workforce. Each new initiative will complement and add value to existing BANT businesses by providing a difference that matters to existing and newly acquired customers.
