VIASPACE Inc. (VSPC.OB) leads the way with Intellectual Property protection in Japan with the announced two new Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Patents now issued in Japan.
While many Original Equipment Manufacturers in Japan have been working on their own internal programs, these new patents issued to VIASPACE have the potential for a profound positive business impact for VIASPACE.
Key to remember is that the direct methanol fuel cell was invented at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech. Fuel cells are expected to gain a substantial market share in portable electronics because they offer longer operating time as compared to current lithium ion batteries and may be instantaneously recharged by simply replacing the disposable fuel cartridge. Leading OEMs have announced that they are developing direct methanol fuel cells for portable electronic applications.
