Nanosys Lands Trademark Registration for Hyperion Low-Cadmium QD Technology

Nanosys landed a trademark registration Tuesday for the commercial name Hyperion to describe the low-cadmium quantum dots technology the company unveiled at the 2016 Display Week conference (see 1605240002), a Patent and Trademark Office certificate showed. Nanosys claims Hyperion helps a quantum-dot TV achieve 90 percent or more of the colorimetry in the BT.2020 spec, matching the color performance of the industry’s best cadmium-based quantum-dot materials without requiring regulatory safety exemptions. Hyperion had its first commercial use in December, said the PTO certificate. Nanosys applied for the trademark in May 2016, said PTO records.
