Patent info.
On August 20, 2007, we filed a provisional patent application (Application No.:
11/841,046) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which is still pending. In order to extend the potential patent protection beyond the U.S., we were required to file an international patent application via the Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT") no later than August 19, 2008. Indeed, on June 30, 2008, we filed the international patent application via the PCT (application No. PCT/IL2008/000882) with the Israeli patent office. This patent application covers the man-powered charger solution for battery powered small hand-carried devices.
On January 29, 2008 we announced the completion of the fully working prototype of the man-powered charger solution for battery powered small hand-carried devices designed mainly to charge cellular phones ("YoGen").
On June 29, 2008 we filed a patent application with respect to a new product we are currently developing, which is a foldable charger with two axial flux alternators designed to charge laptop computers (the "Laptop Charger"). The patent application (Application No. PCT/IL2008/000908) was filed with the Israeli patent office. The technology of the Laptop Charger, like the technology of the YoGen, was invented by Alexander Sromin and Michael Fridhendler during the course of their work for Pipera Technologies Ltd. ("Pipera"), a company wholly owned and fully funded by our president and director, Guy Ofir. Mr. Sromin and Mr. Fridhendler have been assisted by Mr. Roman Lanzet that serves as production manager at Pipera. Mr. Sromin, Mr. Fridhendler and Mr. Lanzet together with Pipera assigned all of their rights in the Laptop Charger to our company for no consideration. The Laptop Charger prototype, like the YoGen, is being developed by Pipera, mainly by Mr. Sromin and Mr. Fridhendler.
