New Energy Bolsters Patent Protection for SolarWindow Capable of Generating Electricity on See-Thru Glass

New Energy Technologies, Inc. announced that, as part of the company’s ongoing pathway to commercialize its SolarWindow technology, capable of generating electricity on see-thru glass windows, four new patent applications have been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Including previous patent submissions, a total of 10 new patent applications have been filed for SolarWindow, and 18 international and U.S. patent filings have been submitted for protection of New Energy’s MotionPower technology, engineered to generate electricity from vehicles as they slow or come to a stop.

“We recently announced plans to advance our alternative energy technologies, SolarWindow and MotionPower, towards manufacturability and commercialization. An important precursor to commercial launch of these first-of-their-kind technologies is the protection of valuable intellectual property related to our underlying inventions,” explained John A. Conklin, president and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc.

“With a total of 28 new patents filed internationally and in the United States, I’m proud to announce that we are making important strides in safeguarding the technological breakthroughs which make it possible to create meaningful commercial products from our early inventions,” Conklin added.

The patent filings assist the company with advancing SolarWindow into product development and eventual commercialization. The next phase of product development includes boosting power conversion efficiency, power production, voltage and current. Engineering efforts include the development of technologies that allow for large scale application of New Energy’s electricity-generating coatings onto glass surfaces, using standard industrial manufacturing techniques.
