WLSI never said it is applying for a patent, the camera does not need a patent. All that WLSI did is to introduce minor changes to an existing camera to make the camera more robust and easier to use, but there will be no patent for the camera. In fact in July 2010 when wlsi announced the receipt of two prototype cameras they said production will start in October 2010 without any mension of a pending patent.
"HOLLAND, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wellstar (OTCBB:WLSI) through its wholly owned subsidiary Trillennium Medical Imaging (TMI) announces the Delivery of 2 Prototypes of the TMI Clinical Camera Design.
“The prototypes delivered are everything that we wanted and production should be completed in the month of October as planned.”
As earlier announced TMI has contracted for a new camera to be developed under their specific design for clinical use. The manufacturer has delivered the first prototypes for approval.
John Antonio, President and CEO of TMI stated, "The prototypes delivered are everything that we wanted and production should be completed in the month of October as planned.
"By designing our own clinical version of the camera, we will control all aspects of our Imaging System and have the flexibility to incorporate all of the necessary functions to provide an innovative, bedside solution for the early detection of pressure ulcers. We will be able to seamlessly integrate into any Health Information System (HIS) that uses a barcode for patient identification, get immediate, real time analysis of the images at the bedside, and provide a means of documentation and data storage for the facility."
