PATENTS

Powerful composition-of-matter patent protection

The technology behind Silver 100™ with Opti-Silver™ is protected by U.S. and foreign patents that are "composition-of-matter" patents. This type of patent is generally known to be the most important kind of patent by far.

Some patents in the colloidal silver field are "product-by-process" patents, which only cover the substance if it is made through a specific sequence of steps but do not provide any protection if the same substance is made through any one of a variety of alternative processes. Other patens are "method-of-use" patents, which only provide protection if the substance is used for a certain purpose.

The composition-of-matter patents that protect the technology behind Silver 100™ with Opti-Silver™ are not only of the most solid type of protection, but they provide very broad protection because they cover not just the formulation that makes up Silver 100™ but, in fact, entire classes of complexing agents and counter-ions. The formulation behind Silver 100™ was chosen out of many possible formulations that are protected under the patents because it is believed, after years of effort and research that involved more than a millions of dollars of development, to be the most efficient of all.
