Protecting Carbon-Capture Technologies

Marshall, Gerstein & Borun LLP obtained a successful result for CO₂ Solutions, Inc., in an Inter Partes Review (IPR) of one of CO₂ Solutions’ patents covering its enzyme-based technology for capturing carbon dioxide from exhaust gas. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled in favor of CO₂ Solutions on four of the five grounds of review, upholding CO₂ Solutions’ commercially significant claims of the challenged patent.

CO₂ Solutions’ proprietary carbon-capture technologies, as covered by the upheld patent claims and by other patents in CO₂ Solutions’ portfolio, provide environmentally-friendly, efficient, and cost-effective methods for reducing carbon emissions. As stated by Evan Price, President and CEO of CO₂ Solutions, “We believe this confirms CO₂ Solutions’ possession of the least expensive and most environmentally friendly carbon capture technology available on the market.”
