NEWS: STAR Wins USPTO Challenges

Click to see full story

STAR has won all USPTO patent reexamination challenges to its inert gas and dye patents. These Patent Office decisions mean that any competitor not licensing STAR smoke technology cannot use an inert gas (e.g. nitrogen or CO2) in a smoke machine for fuel evaporative (EVAP) system testing (to prevent creating a flammable mixture inside the vehicle's fuel tank). They also cannot use trace dye in the smoke vapor, (which is helpful in finding leaks and essential in high pressure leak applications).

Licensor of the World's Only OEM-Mandated Smoke Technology! The #1 Leak-Detection Smoke Technology in over 125 Countries STAR EnviroTech is OEM-Mandated Technology in 41 Countries

STAR EnviroTech (STAR - Acronym for: Synergies Technology And Research) is the inventor & developer of proprietary Diagnostic Smoke^® Vapor Leak Detection Technology. STAR worked in collaboration with various partners including Ford, GM and DaimlerChrysler, through their USCAR organization, in order to develop a universally-accepted vehicle fuel evaporative (EVAP) and vacuum leak detection technology, which has since become the industry standard.

Our patented technology is the ONLY smoke technology that can be used with nitrogen (or any other inert gas) for safer EVAP testing. And it is the ONLY smoke technology that can be used with dye. Our special non-contaminating non-toxic dye adheres to the smoke vapor and deposits at the exact location of a leak. STAR technology is recommended or required by virtually all major automakers and it can be found inside 100% of the smoke machines approved and mandated by the automakers for their dealers, worldwide. STAR Technology is available in more than 125 countries and OEM-mandated in 41 countries. Sold by more leading tool manufacturers and distributors than any other smoke vapor technology in the world; STAR Technology is considered the 'gold standard' for EVAP and vacuum leak testing and is the only vapor technology passing all automotive industry testing requirements. STAR licenses its technology to selected tool manufacturers and distributors worldwide; supplying the automotive, industrial, marine and aviation industries... And the Canadian Air Force and U.S. Military.

The leak detection applications for this technology are almost endless and certainly not limited to the automotive industry. It is known best to the auto industry because that is where it was first introduced.
