Current Water Technologies Inc. announced the filing of a provisional patent application for its AmmEl-AQUA system for treatment of ammonia in the aquaculture sector. The filing of this application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) establishes an early effective filing date and allows CWTI to ascribe the phrase “patent pending” to any commercial products, methods, or services contemplated by the subject matter claimed. The patent application, once converted into a U.S. non-provisional, utility application, provides the detailed claims upon which legal protection is afforded upon a grant of a U.S. patent.

CWTI also plans to submit individual national stage patent applications in select international jurisdictions.
