OriginOil granted patent in Australia for algae harvesting technology

Greentech Lead America: OriginOil, a company specializing
in energy production process for the oil and algae industries, has just
received its first international patent for its algae harvesting technology
from the Australian patent office.

The invention, titled “Systems, apparatus and methods of
obtaining intracellular products and cellular mass and debris from algae and
derivative products and process of use thereof,” was issued as patent
number 2010239380 in Australia for a term of 20 years beginning in
2010.

In addition to the United States, it has also been
published in the European Union and in Japan.

“Our value as a technology company increases with each
patent that we file, and then with each patent that is granted,”
stated Riggs Eckelberry, OriginOil’s CEO. “As a global technology company,
patents in foreign territories are critical to secure our international reach
and our position as a leader in the algae industry.”

OriginOil’s first customer, MBD Energy, piloted
OriginOil’s Single Step Extraction algae harvesting systems in Australia. The
Company has also selected Melbourne-based Frontline Engineering
Australia as its Certified Support Partner to help algae producers and
integrators install, engineer and operate OriginOil systems in Australia and
the Asia-Pacific region.

OriginOil is currently prosecuting 29 patent
applications, of which 13 have been filed as international applications.
