PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / March 3, 2015 / NovoFuel, Inc. ("NovoFuel"), a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (PINKSHEETS:AFPW), announced today that it has been notified by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) that its hydrogen generation patent will be issued on March 10, 2015 as U.S. Patent No. 8,974,765. (See NovoFuel News Release of October 29, 2014.)

The original 2009 omnibus patent application, "METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLED PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN USING ALUMINUM-BASED WATER-SPLIT REACTIONS," went through an extensive review by the USPTO. The patent contains 48 specific claims which are applications-oriented, focusing on the practical aspects of controlling the aluminum powder-water reaction in NovoFuel's unique cartridge-based hydrogen generation system used in such applications as feeding fuel cells for backup power, and filling weather balloons for upper atmospheric measurements. NovoFuel's Intellectual Property portfolio also includes valuable proprietary know-how, an essential complement to the patent.
