INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Consumers are getting into conservation.

Since Thomas Edison.s invention of the carbon-filament lamp and a direct-current generator for incandescent electric lighting in 1879, technology in the lighting industry has evolved slowly. In fact, besides changes to filaments over the past 120-plus years, Edison.s original incandescent design has remained intact. As a result, current energy-hungry, heat-producing incandescent light bulbs continue to waste unnecessary energy at exorbitant costs.

This factor, coupled with recent domestic and international energy shortages, has resulted in a heightened focus on the need for energy-efficient lighting options. Consumers are slowly beginning to realize that improving lighting efficiency is one of the fastest ways to decrease energy bills and preserve our environment. Today, consumers face a myriad of alternative energy-efficient lighting, including fluorescent, compact fluorescent lighting (CFL.s), high-intensity discharge and low-pressure sodium lamps.

Explanation of Patents

PureSpectrum, Inc. owns multiple patents, patents pending and patent applications related to the development and application of PureSpectrum Technology.

The original patents fall under the umbrella of a utility patent which describes the base science which is the building block for PureSpectrum’s technologies. The technology describes an enhanced ballast circuitry for ballast-driven artificial lighting applications, enabling power to be delivered to a lamp’s plasma more effectively than the methods used in existing products. The result of the simple adjustment in circuitry detailed in the patent is power being distributed differently from the energy source to the lamp. As technology advances have continued, PureSpectrum retained patent attorneys from Alston & Bird LLP, one of the largest and most respected intellectual property law firms in the United States.

As development has escalated and expanded, the company’s advance technology and engineering team has worked closely with patent attorneys to write and file additional patent applications protecting the most recent developments with the technology. Because of the global nature of the PureSpectrum’s technology breakthroughs, the company will secure international patent protection pursuant to the Patent Cooperation Treaty and will seek specific intellectual property protection in China.
