4 terms

provisional patent application regulatory

"filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office"

A provisional patent application is a lightweight, temporary filing that records an inventor’s idea and sets an official filing date without starting the full patent review process. Think of it as placing a hold on an idea while you prepare the complete paperwork; it doesn’t grant a patent but can preserve the right to seek one later. For investors, it signals a company is protecting potential intellectual property, which can affect future competitive advantage and valuation, but it is not a guarantee of patent protection.

uspto regulatory

"with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)"

United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is the federal agency that reviews and issues patents for inventions and registers trademarks for brand names and logos. For investors, USPTO decisions act like a gatekeeper for a company’s legal right to exclude competitors — similar to a property deed for ideas and brands — which can protect revenue, support pricing power, and affect a company’s long‑term value and risk profile.

partial differential equations technical

"partial differential equations (PDEs) underlying heat transfer"

Partial differential equations are mathematical formulas that describe how a quantity changes across space and time—for example, how heat spreads through a material or how an asset’s price evolves with time and other factors. Investors care because these equations underpin models used to price complex derivatives, estimate risk, and simulate physical or biological systems that affect company value; think of them as detailed recipes that model how many moving parts interact and change.

boundary conditions technical

"including those involving complex geometries and boundary conditions"

Conditions, assumptions, or limits that define where a model, calculation, contract term, regulatory test, or analysis applies and how it behaves; they specify the starting values, constraints, and external factors that must hold for the stated result or rule to be valid. Boundary conditions can be numeric (e.g., fixed values at the edges of a calculation), legal or contractual (e.g., eligibility thresholds or triggering events), or contextual (e.g., market, operational, or clinical circumstances); if those conditions change, the outcome or applicability of the analysis, test, or provision may no longer hold.

CollPlant Advances its Photonic Computing Strategy Through LightSolver's Growing IP Portfolio

REHOVOT, Israel, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CollPlant Biotechnologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLGN) today announced that its subsidiary, LightSolver, has filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an invention that significantly expands the capabilities of its all-optical, laser-based computing platform.

The provisional application, titled "Configuring a Programmable Analog Processor to Solve Inhomogeneous Boundary Value Problems," details a proprietary method for solving a broad class of complex physical and engineering problems. The invention broadens the range of scientific and engineering simulations that can be addressed by LightSolver's platform. It enables the platform to directly address partial differential equations (PDEs) underlying heat transfer, diffusion, electrostatics and fluid-flow phenomena, including those involving complex geometries and boundary conditions.

A key innovation enables the platform to incorporate boundary conditions and other problem parameters directly into the computation. By making these elements part of the solving process, the invention expands the range of complex scientific and engineering simulations that can be addressed by LightSolver's technology.

"This provisional patent application filing represents a key milestone in our long-term intellectual property strategy, designed to secure our core technological innovations as we build out our photonic computing platform," said Dr. Ruti Ben-Shlomi, CEO and Co-Founder of LightSolver. "By systematically expanding the addressable problem-space of our Laser Processing Unit (LPU), we are broadening its potential applicability across a wider range of workloads, while continuing to strengthen the intellectual property underlying our strategic commercialization path."

This filing strengthens LightSolver's intellectual property portfolio and supports the company's strategy to deliver material performance advantages for demanding computational tasks in industry and research.
