SigNature T tags can be applied to natural fibres, such as cotton and wool, as well as to cellulosic materials and synthetic fibres. The company says they are capable of surviving harsh manufacturing processes, like those used to produce leather, cotton and synthetic materials.
“We take great pride in the patenting of our SigNature T molecular tags, providing us with broad long-term market exclusivity,” said Dr James Hayward, president and CEO of Applied DNA. “Protecting our innovations has always been a cornerstone of Applied DNA. Our robust intellectual property portfolio is more important than ever, as industry awareness and acceptance of our technologies is rapidly growing.”
The company now has 53 patents and a further 70 applications pending.
