CAS Medical Systems Inc. says Japan has issued a patent for technology used in the Branford company’s non-invasive device for measuring oxygen levels in tissue.
The Japanese Patent Office issued patent No. 4,465,271 to cover CAS’ Laser-Sight technology embedded in its Fore-Sight oximeter, said CAS Medical CEO Andrew Kersey.
Kersey said the patent is even more impressive because “Japan is known for having a rigorous approval process for patents, and this will offer us protection on our invention and intellectual property” in that country.
He said the company will pursue more patents on the technology to “maximize the value of the … device.”
