Micromem Update: Patent Filings

Toronto, Ontario & New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2015) - Micromem Technologies Inc. (CSE: MRM) (OTCQX: MMTIF) ("Micromem") ("the Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST), is pleased to announce current status of the patent filings on four of the projects Micromem has undertaken. As new intellectual property continues to be developed, Micromem will file additional patents.

The provisional patent application for the Powerline Real Time Condition Monitoring was filed September 6, 2012 under patent number 61/697583. Subsequently the International application was filed September 6, 2013 under PCT number PCT/US2013/058552. That series of patents has now been enhanced to cover the United States, Canada and Europe. These filings provide Micromem protection as testing of the product begins this summer.

Amendments have been filed to our provisional patent for MEMS implementation of Laser Induced Breakdown spectroscopy for detection of wear materials in lubricant. This filing will provide protection as work begins on assessing manufacturing partners for this project.

The first US provisional patent has been filed for Cement Integrity Sensors and methods of manufacture and use thereof.

The company is still awaiting further notices of allowance on its series of patents titled Multi Modal Fluid Condition Sensor Platform and manufacture thereof. There is expectation that these will be granted.
