A Noerr team led by Carmen Böhn and Georg Schneider has advised FRAMOS, a developer and distributor of imaging systems, on the strategic development of a joint venture with Japan’s Restar Corporation. As part of this transaction, RESTAR FRAMOS Technologies (formerly ViMOS Technologies) took over the distribution of SONY image sensors and displays in Europe, the Middle East and North America as of October.
