Israel & Canada First "In-Country" Patent Filings

Elk River, MN. (March 24, 1999) -- SolarAttic, Inc. announced today that it has made the first two "in-country" patent filings in the countries of Israel and Canada. These in-country filings, which were due March 21, follow the company's general international patent filing and publication made through the U.S. Patent Office in 1997. Additional "in-country" filings are due April 21, 1999.

The international patent filings are for foreign country coverage on SolarAttic's fourth U.S. Patent 5,746,653 issued on May 5, 1998. After filing a general international patent application and having it published, the company has to file within those particular countries it seeks patent protection in.

The patent covers a custom duct [or tube] that is perforated with holes. Hole size and location compensate for pressure loss along the duct's length allowing the duct to collect or distribute air evenly. One useful application of the technology is in venting attics. The technology would allow for controlled attic ventilation without roof vents.

SolarAttic has developed a big piece of the solution to global warming. It's simply using all of that heat inside your attic. SolarAttic has discovered how to use this huge untapped heat resource for heating swimming pools, hot water and space. It's low cost energy, almost free to use! SolarAttic patented this heating technology. The company's fourth patent allows this heating technology to be more efficient. In addition, the technology can control attic ventilation eliminating ice-dams and roof vents. More information can be obtained by contacting Jim Stanley at (612) 441-3440 or by visiting the company's Internet web site at http://www.solarattic.com.
