Files for Non-Provisional Patent Protection Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 23, 2021) - Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW) (OTCQB: SIXWF) (FSE: AHUH) ("Sixth Wave", "SIXW" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed U.S. Patent Application No. 17/438,343, Title: MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMERS FOR EXTRACTION OF CANNABINOIDS AND USES THEREOF. The patent application filed is to convert the patent for SIXW's Affinity™ technology from provisional to non-provisional status. This step involves an in-depth review of the technology from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and provides full patent protection after acceptance.
The non-provisional patent filing incorporates improvements to the technology as outlined in the Company's recent press release dated Sept 15, 2021. The release highlighted capacity and performance improvements for the Affinity™ polymer beads to provide capacity in excess of 80 milligrams per gram of beads or 80 grams of cannabinoids per kilogram of beads. Noted improvements in capacity and throughput have improved originally anticipated system capacity for its entry size Affinity™ System by greater than 50%.
"This is yet another milestone in Sixth Wave's patent portfolio as we continue to protect the novelty of our technology in key markets around the world," noted Dr. Jon Gluckman, President & CEO of the Company, "The recent improvement to our Affinity™ bead technology is expected to further improve economics for both Sixth Wave and our customers."
The Affinity™ System is a leading-edge purification process that is expected to allow cannabis producers to deliver a product with the highest possible THC/cannabinoid purity that customers demand. Affinity™ machines will use Sixth Wave's breakthrough nanotechnology to significantly increase yields for producers by reducing the amount of cannabinoids lost through traditional extraction methods with faster processing times with lower costs. The savings will be achieved by using the company's patent-pending Molecular Imprinted Polymer (MIPs) technology to eliminate "winterization", streamline production, and eliminate the need for toxic chemicals or extreme heat which can degrade product quality.
