alpha-En Corporation is pleased to announce that it has filed through it's subsidiary CLC a number of patent applications which relate to and claim high purity lithium and associated products and the process of making same. This further strengthens the core Intellectual Property of alpha-Encorp which has already filed numerous patents around its proprietary technology.

Sam Pitroda, Chief Executive Officer added, "Holding over 100 patents myself, my professional life was spent in the world of new technologies and the patents that surround and protect them. It is impossible to overstate the importance of a sound patent strategy in an overall development and growth concept of an emerging technology company. Any technology that is worthwhile will attract attempts to infringe upon it, so a strong patent position and a strong law firm is the first line of defense. We are proud to have the law firm of K&LGates as our partner, they are widely regarded as one of the best in the field of Intellectual Property protection. Together with them we will continue to build and protect our patent portfolio and by doing so, we will continue to create value for our shareholders."
