Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,679,047, covering the company's proprietary multilayered fire-resistant polymer composite and its manufacturing method. The patent protects the core technology behind NEXBOARD, Xeriant's eco-friendly construction panel made from recycled plastic and fiber waste, and further strengthens the intellectual property supporting its DUREVER advanced materials platform. This development is significant because it secures a competitive advantage for Xeriant in the sustainable materials market, potentially accelerating adoption of recycled-content building products.
The patented multilayered composite design enables more efficient use of non-toxic fire retardants while incorporating recycled materials into the panel core, creating an alternative to traditional building materials such as drywall, plywood, OSB and MgO board. According to the company, the technology has potential applications across construction, aerospace, transportation and energy markets. Xeriant is pursuing additional international patent protection through Patent Cooperation Treaty and continuation applications, indicating a strategy to expand its global footprint. The issuance of this patent is a crucial step for Xeriant as it seeks to commercialize NEXBOARD and other DUREVER products, which aim to address the growing demand for sustainable and fire-resistant materials in various industries.
Xeriant's advanced materials line, marketed under the DUREVER brand, includes NEXBOARD, an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite construction panel made from plastic and fiber waste, designed to replace products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, MgO board and other materials used in construction. By securing this patent, Xeriant not only protects its innovation but also positions itself to license the technology or form strategic partnerships. The patent's coverage of both the composite and its manufacturing process provides a strong barrier to entry for competitors, potentially increasing the company's valuation and attractiveness to investors. As building codes increasingly emphasize fire safety and sustainability, Xeriant's technology could see rapid adoption, reshaping material choices in construction and other sectors. The company's commitment to international patent protection suggests it is targeting global markets, which could further amplify the impact of this announcement.
