SCSC Patent Entering International Stage

Filings in Japan and Germany are currently under way and other European countries are soon to follow. The filings in the local countries will be following the more comprehensive set of claims recently announced by the company (see next article). The country specific patent applications, in the native filing language, will appear on the company's web site as they are published.

 

Our pending electronics patent covers the control of SPD materials as well as arrays of SPD windows across a variety of applications.  The patent was filed in the US Patent Office and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).  A copy of the original international filing published under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) appears at the company's web site.  >
