Important patent approved for myFC in Japan

myFC has been informed that the Japanese patent office has approved another key
patent for the company. The patent covers an important section of the automatic
control and self-regulation in the “open-end” solution, which means that the
fuel cell in myFC’s technique can operate in the startup phase before the cell
has gained enough hydrogen gas. The approval of the patent has is crucial in
improving the fuel cell’s lifetime.
The patent covers the technique that is used to control the fuel cell in its
startup phase.
The patent protects the unique automatic control that is used to prevent
overcharging and degradation of the fuel cell before it can generate enough
energy/power with the hydrogen gas supplied to the system. This technique is the
basis for improving product lifetime and the performance of the thin and
effective PEM-fuel cell that exists in the company’s fuel cell charger today,
JAQ.

With this technique, the cells can be integrated into smartphones and other
consumer-electronics and can outcompete the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries.

The approved patent petition in Japan further strengthens the protection that
myFC has developed as well as increase the current patent portfolio of over 70
approved- and on-going patent applications, within nine patent families.
