Energetix gains China patent

CHESHIRE-based alternative energy business Energetix has been granted a Chinese patent for its Pnu Power subsidiary.
 
The patent is valid until December 2023 and follows the granting of the European patent in 2006.  

Pnu Power uses compressed air to produce back-up power for telecommunications companies and data centres.
 
Energetic said the Chinese market represents an opportunity for Pnu Power with a rapidly growing and often remote telecommunications and power utilities network.  

Energetix is building a portfolio of intellectual property including key patents and trademarks to enable exploitation across its global markets.  

Chief executive, Adrian Hutchings, said: “Our unique compressed-air UPS technology is already raising strong interest worldwide, as has been shown by the heightened interest from South African utility Eskom and by the responses we’ve had from telecommunications providers at September’s Intelec exhibition held in San Diego. 

“Beyond Europe and China, we look forward to the granting of further patents around the world, and to the further success that ongoing IP protection will bring.”
