ITM Power’s fundamental material patent granted in the USA
ITM Power announced today that on 15 January 2008 it has been granted a patent for its fundamental materials from the US Patent Office (Patent No: US 7,318,972 B2).
The patent application, which covers both the unique crosslinked hydrophilic ionic materials and the novel production process, has been identified as two separate inventions. Consequently, the Company has decided to allow the patent examination process to proceed under the US ‘divisional process’ which offers the possibility of achieving two independent patents from the one original application. The divisional application covering the novel “in-situ” production process is now under review.
