PATENTS

Intro

 

 

Our patent portfolio is a combination of patents covering the broad uses of wearable scent technologies and associated applications for personalised scent release, triggered by sound and/or biometric properties, new techniques for creating a scent dispersal sphere around the body dependent upon user context, music data,  environment, activity data, etc, and some techniques employing machine learning. 

 

This page lists patents which are either granted or are pending.  In addition, we maintain trade secrets and know-how around Dr Jenny Tillotson's award-winning 'Scentsory Design' research which has been built up from years of practical experience, including work at Central Saint Martins, University of Cambridge and the Royal College of Art.

​

New techniques for personalised scent dispersal, which with a modest scent reservoir allow use without recharge for a period of weeks to months or even years.  Also techniques for therapeutic scent dispersal.  Further, techniques for dispensing scent dependent upon user context/environment, music data, weather, calendar, activity data, etc.  Some of the techniques may employ machine learning.
