Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2014 / Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (the "Company" or "Abattis") (OTCQX: ATTBF) (CSE: ATT), a specialty biotechnology company with capabilities through its wholly owned subsidiaries of cultivating, licensing and marketing proprietary ingredients, bio-similar compounds, patented equipment and consulting services to medicinal markets in North America, today announced that Biocube Green Grow Systems Corp. ("Biocube"), its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a worldwide non-exclusive licensing agreement with TerraSphere Systems LLC ("TerraSphere") for the company's proprietary and patented vertical farming technology. The TerraSphere license complements Biocube's previously announced sublicensing agreement for Vertical Design Ltd.'s ("VDL") vertical farming technology.

The TerraSphere patented technology leverages hydroponic greenhouse functionality with novel and unique vertical growing components to increase plant production tenfold per square foot as compared to traditional field farming. The increased yields allow for up to 20,000 plants per 120 square feet, for example. Demonstrating its leadership position in the emerging vertical farming industry, in June TerraSphere announced a joint venture agreement to further develop its proprietary technology for use with organic indoor farms for rapid and efficient growth of leafy green vegetables.

"Now that we hold worldwide licensing agreements to both the VDL and the TerraSphere proprietary vertical growing technologies, Biocube is able to grow any plant intended for consumption or for use in the pharmaceutical, neutraceutical, cosmetic, and wellness markets 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, anywhere in the world," said Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. CEO Mike Withrow. "These recent acquisitions, in combination with Biocube's existing MgO Board(TM) technology -a fireproof, antimicrobial, antibacterial, waterproof, and recyclable building material--innovative LED growing lights, highly energy efficient customizable and automated climate control system, anti powdery mildew system, anti-odor system, and an advanced dissolved oxygen water system, have positioned the company to become a worldwide leader in the rapidly expanding worldwide vertical farming industry."

Terrasphere's current intellectual property portfolio consists of 4 patents and 1 patent application pending. The Company`s patents and patent applications have been developed internally over the last 10 years at a cost of over ~ $5 million U.S. For more information, visit: www.terraspheresystems.com
