Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 14, 2007, the Company announced that its Ionfinity subsidiary has been granted a patent for a soft ionization membrane. Ionfinity, a subsidiary in which VIASPACE holds a 46.3% membership interest, is working to develop the next-generation mass spectrometry (MS) technology, which could not only revolutionize the traditional applications of MS for industrial process control and environmental monitoring, but could also ring in a new era of detection systems for homeland security. The technology combines two inventions made at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which should enable the system to provide a 10x increase in sensitivity, a 10x increase in mass range and the ability to miniaturize the product to make it portable and low cost.
A copy of the press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
