BOCA RATON, Fla., July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) (“Xeriant” or “the Company”), dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of transformative technologies, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No. 12,679,047 covering the Company’s proprietary multilayered fire-resistant polymer composite and method of making same.
The patent, which follows the Notice of Allowance received in March 2026, protects the innovative technology at the core of NEXBOARD, Xeriant’s eco-friendly composite construction panel made from recycled plastic and fiber waste. This awarded patent strengthens the intellectual property protection of NEXBOARD and the DUREVER advanced materials platform.
“This patent issuance is a significant milestone that validates our years of research and development,” said Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant. “Our multilayered fire-resistant composite technology has the potential to redefine safety and sustainability standards across construction, with implications for aerospace, transportation, and energy sectors by offering lighter, stronger, and more fire-resistant panels that address critical challenges like wildfire risk, flooding damage, and recycling waste. Securing this patent helps protect our competitive position and should generate new opportunities for strategic partnerships, licensing, and commercialization.”
The patent focuses on a layered composite design structure and manufacturing methodology which allows for more cost-effective and efficient use of fire retardants. The multilayered architecture enables higher concentrations of non-toxic fire retardants in the outer layers while using recycled plastic and cellulose fiber waste in the core, creating an eco-friendly, high-performance alternative to traditional building materials such as gypsum drywall, plywood, OSB, and MgO board.
The innovation is expected to have broad applications across multiple industries where fire safety and lightweight performance are critical. Xeriant continues to pursue international patent protection through its recently filed Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application and continuation applications to further expand its intellectual property portfolio.
