Genomtec has received notification from the Polish Office for Registration of Medicinal Products, Medical Devices and Biocidal Products (URPL) that it has received patent protection for its invention, which is a contactless heating and detection technology that can be used not only in genetic research, as in the case of patent No. 235210 held by the Company, but also in any other type of devices or control systems designed outside the medical industry. This is the fifth patent received by Genomtec since the Company’s inception and the third issued by URPL.
“The notice of patent protection we received today is particularly important to us. It highlights the possibility of using our technology not only in Genomtec®ID, but in other devices or systems, thus significantly increasing the Company’s intellectual property and shareholder value.” – said Miron Tokarski, CEO and co-founder of Genomtec.
The subject of the new patent-protected invention is a kit for non-contact temperature control, a method of generating wave fronts of electromagnetic radiation and an application of the kit to generate temperature field profiles.
The patent proceedings are aimed at securing key licensing interests and are part of Genomtec’s growth strategy, which includes building a portfolio of intellectual property rights. Strong intellectual property protection provides the Company with competitive advantage and improves negotiating position before signing commercial agreements with selected partners for the implementation of the commercialization strategy.
