XPED RECEIVES KEY GRANTED PATENT
Raya Group Ltd (ASX: RYG) (“Raya” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its unique and valuable patent portfolio of Xped Holdings Limited (Xped) continues to grow with yet another patent granted, this time in Singapore, for its flagship Auto‐Discovery Remote Control (ADRC) platform.
The award of the “ADRC Multicontroller Patent”, an extended version of the original ADRC patent already awarded in many other jurisdictions, paves the way for mass adoption of ADRC in the region with Singapore well positioned as the technology hub of Asia. Singapore is the first country this patent has been granted and there are many others including the USA and EU where it is still pending examination.
Chris Wood, who is Xped’s Chief Technology Offer (CTO), is co‐inventor along with Xped’s Chief Operating Officer John Schultz. Chris Wood and John Schultz are the original founders of Xped.
“The patent award is another significant milestone for Xped and to have it awarded in Singapore, the geographic backyard of our Global Headquarters is significant for us. We’ve had tremendous support from our partners in that market,” said Chris Wood.
“The satisfaction of seeing the hard work that we’ve put into Xped come to realisation is gratifying. We still have more innovations to be similarly recognised and we shall continue with this effort. Our vision of making technology easy to use by everyone has been our dream for some time. That’s really what Xped is all about.”
X‐Logo Trademark Awarded Protection in Europe
Xped was recently advised that is has been awarded extended protection of its international “X‐Logo” registration by the European Community (OHIM) Trade Marks Office.
The decision came after an original objection was resolved with the opponent paying costs towards Xped to finalise the matter.
