Ainos Expands Patent Portfolio With Strategic Shareholder's Cutting-Edge Technology Assets
Strengthens AI Nose Gas Sensing Technology with Additional Exclusively Licensed Patents
Secures Exclusive Rights to Breakthrough Nitrogen-Oxygen Separation Technology with Superior Energy Efficiency and Ultra-Low Carbon Emissions, Advancing Sustainable Medical Practices
SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 28, 2024 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), an innovative healthcare company focused on advanced AI-driven point-of-care testing ("POCT") and low-dose interferon therapeutics, today announced that it has secured exclusive licensing rights for an additional 28 multi-regional patent assets from its strategic shareholder and product co-developer, Taiwan Carbon Nano Technology Corporation ("TCNT"). These patents encompass innovations in AI Nose gas sensing technology and extend Ainos' technological capabilities with a groundbreaking nitrogen-oxygen separation technology targeting medical applications.
The cutting-edge nitrogen-oxygen separation technology marks a significant leap in generating medical-grade oxygen with exceptional efficiency. It enables a direct extraction of nitrogen and oxygen from air with over 99% purity. This eco-friendly approach uses about one-third of the average energy required by conventional techniques, revolutionizing the industry by substantially reducing costs and making a significant contribution to carbon reduction and energy savings. This innovation can set a new benchmark for sustainable practices in the medical sector and beyond, propelling the industry towards a greener future.
These exclusive licensing rights are part of an amendment to the existing product development agreement between Ainos and TCNT. The patent assets cover a range of advanced technologies including volatile organic compound ("VOC") sensing, POCT, and nitrogen-oxygen separation. They span multiple regions, including China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Germany, the European Union, and the U.S., further solidifying Ainos' intellectual property footprint and technological leadership.
Beyond joint technological advancements, the partnership provides Ainos with exclusive sales rights and patent use for the medical-grade nitrogen-oxygen separation technology. This strategically positions the Company to significantly expand its presence in the advanced medical equipment market while empowering a sustainable future.
"These patent assets mark a major milestone for Ainos. They not only enhance our industry-leading AI Nose technology but also introduce transformative, eco-friendly nitrogen-oxygen separation technology. We believe harnessing these intellectual properties will propel our advancements in healthcare technology and highlight our dedication to sustainability." said Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO of Ainos.
