Intellectual Property

NewGen and ReFuel have submitted applications for new technologies in the United Kingdom pertaining to the use of its proprietary technology for production of its fuels. These applications show inventive steps and novelty that distinguishes them from the prior patents granted to the inventors of ReFuel's technology. These inventive steps and novelty are required for new patents to issue.

These applications were submitted and are currently being reviewed for issue by The Patent Office in the United Kingdom. It is anticipated that patents would be converted to PCT applications to cover worldwide all the countries that have entered into the Patent Convention Treaty (over 70 countries are members of the PCT). After one year as a PCT applicant, the Company can then decide in which country it wishes to file. The US applications may be concurrently filed with the PCT applications.
