SAGE recently received approval for its 250th global patent pertaining to its SageGlass electrochromic glazing technology, achieving an important milestone and competitive edge in the hot-growth market for dynamic glass. SageGlass is electronically tintable dynamic glass that tints or clears on-demand to modulate light, heat gain and glare. SAGE's patent portfolio covers a wide range of product and process technologies for manufacturing dynamic glass, giving SAGE a significant competitive advantage in IP at a time when industry researchers say the market is poised for significant growth trajectory. Architects and building owners worldwide are increasingly using electrochromic technology in buildings as a better way to control the sunlight, save energy and maximize natural light, without blocking the outdoor view. Hundreds of building projects have already incorporated SageGlass since the company began shipping products 10 years ago. SAGE;s 250th patent is for a new kind of laser device that will enable SageGlass to be repaired in the field without having to remove it from the window, skylight or curtain wall system.
