On September 6, 2011, the Company announced that it was issued US Patent No. 7,996,173, entitled “Method, Apparatus and Article to Facilitate Distributed Evaluation of Objects Using Electromagnetic Energy,” by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks.
The Visualant Spectral Pattern Matching (“SPM”) technology was developed by renowned research scientists, Drs. Tom Furness and Brian Schowengerdt. A number of years were spent in the laboratory developing a unique proprietary approach to mapping color at the photon level and using that mapping as a basis for authentication and diagnostics. In conjunction with the stellar work being done in the lab, the Company pursues an aggressive patent strategy to protect its unique intellectual property.
Drs. Furness and Schowengerdt and their laboratory development team brought a generation of experience to the Visualant SPM development process. Dr. Furness is known in many circles as the “Father of Virtual Reality.” Dr. Schowengerdt is an internationally renowned leader in the field of color perception.
This is the Company’s first patent covering its SPM technology.
