On April 27, 2020 CQENS Technologies Inc. was informed that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a Notice of Allowability in connection with our Heat-not-Burn Device and Method patent application, filed June 28, 2018. A notice of allowance means that the prosecution of the merits is now closed and a United States Letters Patent will issue on or before July 22, 2020.
The patent covers the technology behind the proprietary CQENS System—a device and method for the heating of a plant-based consumable formulation and the subsequent production of an aerosol leading to the effective and efficient inhalation of the plant’s constituents. This is accomplished at a high temperature, but without combustion or the accompanying constituents of combustion. The technology differs from other such technologies currently on the market because CQENS is a high-temperature, non-combustion system, unlike the low-temp, non-combustion systems available today.
