This is Nano One's third patent in Canada bringing the total now to twelve patents issued around the globe.\"This patent is significant to Nano One,\" said Dr. Campbell, \"because it is related to the formation of lithium ion battery precursors by the novel process developed at Nano One. Precursors are intermediate mixtures of metals such as nickel, cobalt and manganese prepared in advance of high temperature processing in a furnace. Nano One's approach differs, because its process adds lithium to the precursors in an intimate mixture with the other metals. This avoids the need to grind and mill, it can shorten thermal process times, it can simplify manufacturing and it can enable alternative feedstocks.\"U.S. Patent Number 10,189,719 was also issued earlier this year and follows an earlier notice of allowance that Nano One announced as its tenth patent on November 13, 2018. It is directed to technology developments in Nano One's scalable process for preparing lithium ion battery cathode materials, taking the process from pilot towards full scale manufacturing. This innovation is a result of Nano One's collaboration with NORAM Engineering and Constructors Ltd. and their subsidiary, BC Research Inc., with the support of the Government of Canada through Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) and the Automotive Supplier Innovation Program (ASIP).Nano One continues to extend its patent coverage on a global scale, with patents now issued in Canada, United States, China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan. The patents cover processes, lithium ion battery materials and related battery applications. There are 30+ patents pending worldwide including Europe.\"Nano One began filing patents 5 years ago and continues to innovate,\" explained Dr. Joseph Guy, patent agent and Nano One board member. \"Those efforts are turning into a world-class patent estate which positions Nano One favorably as it engages with global leaders in lithium ion batteries and materials.\"Nano One Materials Corp.Dan Blondal, CEO For information with respect to ...
