Patent Application Serial Number 10/952,663 was filed on September 29, 2004. This is the third Raser patent application to receive a Notice of Allowance incorporating its initial proprietary Symetron(TM) concepts. There are 20 separate claims that will be allowed within the patent.

"Raser previously announced in November receiving Notice of Allowance for Patent Application Serial Number 10/885,103, which we believe sets initial intellectual property boundaries with regards to the some of the key control strategies we employ," stated Brent M.

The unique concepts acknowledged by this notice of allowance will add protection to our technology licensing offerings in the transportation and industrial business segments."

We will continue to employ patent protection, privacy agreements and trade secrecy strategies in conjunction with our overall commercialization strategy," stated Jonathan Reid, General Counsel of Raser. "Patent issuance facilitates more open communication with both commercial and governmental customers, as well as manufacturing and strategic partners, regarding the significant value we believe Raser's Symetron(TM) technologies bring to the market."
