Intellectual Property
Protection of our intellectual property is a strategic
priority for our business. We rely on a combination of patent,
copyright and other intellectual property laws, trade secrets,
nondisclosure agreements and other measures to protect our
proprietary rights. As of February 2008, we had 8 U. S. patent
applications pending.
We believe it will take up to five years and possibly longer for
these pending U.S. patent applications to result in issued
patents. As of February 2008, we had 3 open international
applications and 3 international applications filed under the
Patent Cooperation Treaty. The company has filed patents on significant
gate-keeping features which it believes creates barriers to
entry as well as, an excellent future licensing opportunity. The
company will continue to invest heavily in design, component,
application and manufacturing patents to protect proprietary
processes used in the production of Vu1 products. We have filed
trademark registration applications for the Vu1 name, mark, tag
and position lines in the US and Europe.
