Notice of Allowance for Piezoelectric Vibrational Energy Harvester Patent Application

Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), an international provider of technology and intellectual property services, is pleased to announce that it has received a "Notice of Allowance" from the US Patent and Trademark Office for its licensed patent application for vibrational energy harvesting from human motion confirming its patent application has been successful.

This patent (U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 14/763/149) is expected to be issued shortly and has been exclusively licensed to Tekcapital from the University of Michigan under the existing exclusive license agreement, as announced on 29 June 2015.

Gross, Executive Chairman of Tekcapital, said: "We are very pleased to announce the receipt of the Notice of Allowance for our licensed energy harvester patent application, which strengthens our IP position.
