Applied Nanotech Holdings Receives MICO Award at MDB Capital’s Bright Lights Conference 2011

Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. announced that it received the MICO Award, presented by MDB Capital Group at the second annual Bright Lights Conference at the Le Meridien Hotel in New York City. The Bright Lights Conference is the only conference with an exclusive focus on publicly-traded companies possessing disruptive and market changing IP, providing institutional investors with a venue to discover the largely unrecognized value of embedded IP.

“Applied Nanotech stood out as one of the top five companies across all industries with the most potentially disruptive or market changing IP, and we are honored to recognize their achievements in driving IP as an asset class and the impact they are making in driving innovation in America,” commented Christopher Marlett, CEO of MDB Capital Group.

Applied Nanotech was selected from MDB’s 2011 group of “Best and Brightest” small-cap companies, a group that is advancing some of today’s most innovative and market-leading intellectual property (IP) and advanced as one of the 40 public companies ranking in the 90th percentile for its respective technology leadership from more than 1,500 small-cap companies with granted U.S. patents, as rated by PatentVest, MDB’s proprietary IP business intelligence platform.

“We are honored by our selection to receive this award,” said Doug Baker, CEO of Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. “This award is a strong validation of our progress and a testament to the excellent work of our scientists.”
