C-Bond Plans to Expand its IP And Nano-Products Portfolio to Support Growth of its Safety Solutions and Transportation Solutions Divisions
HOUSTON, March 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- C-Bond Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “C-Bond”) (OTC: CBNT), a nanotechnology company that improves and strengthens glass, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a notice of allowance of U.S. Patent application 14/128,620 to support the underlying nanotechnology of its C-Bond product portfolio.
C-Bond is a patent protected, water-based, non-toxic, nanotechnology innovation designed to significantly increase the strength of glass, enhance glass flexibility and improve the performance of window film-to-glass products. The newly issued patent notice of allowance covers the chemistry and technology used in all of the Company’s flagship products including C-Bond I, C-Bond Ballistic Resistant System and C-Bond NanoShield™.
The patent application describes glass strengthening and the invention of silane-based chemistry to strengthen glass and interact with the surface micro-structures to treat micro-fissures and micro-cracks on the glass surface. The patent application also references the strengthening of laminates on glass, or the strengthening of the bonding and adhesion of a laminate for window film, on glass or a laminated piece of glass.
The addition of this new patent notice of allowance moves C-Bond’s domestic and international portfolio to include 22 patents and applications spanning core nanotechnology processes. The Company expects to further grow its intellectual property portfolio, supporting growth of the newly defined Safety Solutions and Transportation Solutions business lines, in key global markets.
"The pursuit of a robust intellectual property portfolio for our technology, particularly for fundamental IP such as key materials, processes and products, is a critical part of our growth strategy," said Scott R. Silverman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of C-Bond Systems. “Our patent portfolio, recently valued at $33.7 million by a leading global IP valuation firm, is paramount to our ability to operate unopposed and with total confidence. I look forward to working closely with our skilled patent lawyers to further expand our portfolio in key global markets.”
