Klean Industries has significantly expanded its intellectual property portfolio by receiving trademark protection and additional patents related to its proprietary carbon upgrading technologies—enhancing its leadership in circular, low-carbon innovation.

Vancouver, British Columbia – Klean Industries Inc. (“Klean”), a leading provider of gasification and pyrolysis waste conversion technologies, is pleased to announce that it has now received its registered trademark for Klean Industries(r), which has been approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO as of March 8, 2016. Registration No: 4,912,879 for waste processing machines and equipment using carbonization, pyrolysis, and gasification methods to convert waste into liquid fuels and energy, in class 11 (U.S. CLS. 13, 21, 23, 31, and 34). The trademark consists of the words “Klean Industries” to the right of the company’s logo, a circle containing an inner solid circle with a series of ribbon-like shapes placed adjacent to each other at the right angles in a circular fashion.

Klean is now a registered trademark, and there is legal proof that Klean Industries(r) obtains the right to the exclusive use of the trademark. Klean Industries(r) maintains a portfolio of patented technologies with an existing commercial track record, unlike other technology vendors. These technologies have been applied to converting waste materials into value-added resources and clean energy.

The company is now adding and preparing additional filings for new patents to expand its portfolio based on its advanced know-how and commercial installations. Jesse Klinkhamer, CEO, commented, “A strong intellectual property position has always been a fundamental objective of the company, and we are pleased by the grant of our registered trademark as it will further enhance our technology portfolio, our market position, and offering, along with building shareholder value as we continue to add further innovations in preparation of our company becoming a listed public company.

In 2016, we anticipate filing for patents based on new advancements in our intellectual properties for carbon blending, rubber formulating, and mixing systems. This exciting news follows our receiving an additional utility model patent we have recently licensed. These additional patents will prove that Klean’s technologies are unique and will allow Klean to protect its technology-based real and tangible market advantage for many years to come.”

Klean’s modular carbon blending systems are fully integrated with computerized control technology, allowing the plant to produce specific nano-carbon blends on demand. The specially designed feeding systems enable precise pelletized and powder carbon discharge according to pre-determined formulas. At the same time, the programmable controller controls all of the processing parts of the blending systems to ensure the highest level of efficiency and precision. The current opportunity for blending carbon with tire carbon blacks in the tire manufacturing sector has been unable to achieve such precise and consistent output quality; Klean’s innovations change the game and open up the supply chains dramatically, offering endless value opportunities. An invention patent is valid for 20 years from the date of application, meaning Klean’s technology, formulations, and business applications are protected, preventing others from copying or using its technology without Klean’s consent for up to 20 years when awarded. Our superior innovations are why Klean’s operating plants are so highly successful and why the company technologies continue to thrive even during the downturn in the commodity marketplace.

Klean is a commercial provider of incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis-based technologies for recovering valuable resources and clean energy from waste. One of Klean’s specialties is converting Municipal Solid Waste into electricity. What sets Klean apart from all others when processing tires is its ability to transform the tire char into a valuable end product with well-established end users in many product applications. This is accomplished using Klean’s advanced upgrading technology that produces a recovered carbon black (“rCB”), a key end product upgraded through a patented multi-stage refining process known as the Klean Carbon CBk process. As far as the company is aware, the Klean Team is currently the only group re-integrating recovered carbon black in new tires with significant tire manufacturers around the globe.
