Clean Seed Capital Group Ltd. announced it has received allowance for the grant of patent in Australia and provides an update on India. The Company has received allowance for the grant of patent in Australia for its flow control technology and has submitted the necessary filings to have the patent formally granted. Flow control is one of the core innovations in the Company's on-demand air system for the SMART SeederTM technology dovetailing the innovations and processes between the Company's staged air transfer system and its variable ratio metering system. The on-demand air system is a
significant piece of the SMART SeederTM technology portfolio and a cornerstone to the variable rate metering technology in seeding and planting equipment. This regional expansion to the flow control patent family further strengthens variable rate metering patent family, which effectively extends the overall duration of protection on the portfolio. MINI-MAXTM India Update: Clean reported its team is back on the ground in Haryana, India. Last year, members of team successfully completed two phases of MINI-MAXTM trials. Both phases demonstrated variable rate small grain seeding capabilities, significantly reduced input requirements and seeded into heavy residue with minimal ground disturbance which is a signature feature of technology. These efforts resulted in strong yields in very challenging local conditions. After the successful completion of these 2 phases team is scheduled to demonstrate corn planting with MINI_MAXTM this coming week with partners, Northern Mega farmers FPO, Mahindra Group, Mahindra's Farm Equipment Sector (FES) and CU.
