ASE: ICM Icron has received official confirmation for its first Universal Serial Bus (USB) patent application from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. The Filing Certificate received covers Icron's patent application for the "Method and Apparatus for Extending the Range of the Universal Serial Bus Protocol." This patent application covers Icron's invention for extending the range of USB device to device connections beyond the five meter distance supported under the existing USB standard. Doug Kind, Icron's President and CEO, stated, "This is a very important milestone for Icron. In a technology field and market as large as this is, it is very important that Icron protect its intellectual property. This patent application comes as the result of our significant technology development effort to extend the range of USB and open the market for new applications.
