\nTakes Action Against Aeroclean Technologies Seeking $20 Million in damages<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Applied UV, Inc.<\/a> (NasdaqCM: AUVI<\/a>) (\u201cApplied UV\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light (\u201cUVC\u201d) for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sterilumen, Inc.<\/a>, has filed a lawsuit in the amount of $20 million against Aeroclean Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AERC) and its predecessor, Aeroclean Technologies, LLC, for trademark infringement, unfair competition and damaging Sterilumen.\n<\/p>\n

\nJohn F. Andrews, Applied UV\u2019s CEO and Director, stated, \u201cProtecting our brand, Airoclean\u00ae<\/a>, and trademarked products and technologies is crucial, and we will vigorously defend against infringements. Sterilumen is the owner of 29 issued patents and 18 pending patent applications and five \u2018AIRO\u2019 trademarks, including Airoclean\u00ae, in 19 countries, all of which are for use in connection with our air purification products. Significant resources have been invested to develop the products, and we currently possess a number of issued patents and pending patent applications with respect to both the AIRO products and the related technologies. Our brand is under attack by a new market entrant, Aeroclean, that improperly adopted and began to use a mark in connection with its own air purification products that we believe infringes on our trademark rights, creates confusion for buyers and violates fair competition practices.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis filing is an important effort to protect the good will that has been created for our products and the trust that has been built with our customers,\u201d Andrews continued. \u201cWhen an entity purchases any of our \u2018AIRO\u2019 branded products they can be assured of the science and technology that has gone into the products to make them effective, safe and reliable.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Airocide\u2122 system of air purification technologies was originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. It uses UVC energy to activate our proprietary, titanium dioxide-based photocatalyst that oxidizes and destroys all carbon-based molecules. This system has applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings and retail sectors. The Airocide\u2122 system has been used by brands and organizations such as NASA, Whole Foods, Dole, Chiquita, Palace Vesace, Sub-Zero Refrigerators and Robert Mondavi Wines.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.\n<\/p>\n

\nAbout Applied UV<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

\nApplied UV is focused on the development and acquisition of technology that address infection control in the healthcare, hospitality, commercial and municipal markets. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries – SteriLumen, Inc. (\u201cSteriLumen\u201d) and Munn Works, LLC (\u201cMunn Works\u201d). SteriLumen\u2019s connected platform for Data Driven Disinfection\u2122 applies the power of ultraviolet light (UVC) to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, addressing the challenge of healthcare-acquired infections (“HAIs”). Targeted for use in facilities that have high customer turnover such as hospitals, hotels, commercial facilities, and other public spaces, the Company\u2019s Lumicide\u2122 platform uses UVC LEDs in several patented designs for infection control in and around high-traffic areas, including sinks and restrooms, killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens residing on hard surfaces within devices\u2019 proximity. The Company\u2019s patented in-drain disinfection device, Lumicide Drain, is the only product on the market that addresses this critical pathogen intensive location. SteriLumen\u2019s Airocide\u00ae air purification devices are research backed, clinically proven and developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin. Airocide\u00ae is listed as an FDA Class II Medical device, utilizes a proprietary photocatalytic (PCO) bioconversion technology that draws air into a reaction chamber that converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous airborne pathogens, destructive VOCs, allergens, odors and biological gasses into harmless water vapor and green carbon dioxide without producing ozone or other harmful byproducts. Airocide\u00ae applications include healthcare, hospitality, grocery chains, wine making facilities, commercial real estate, schools, dental offices, post-harvest, grocery, cannabis facilities and homes.
