U.S. Patent issued to Prof. Maruf Hossain

Congratulations to UW-Green Bay Prof. Maruf Hossain and WiSys on being awarded a U.S. Patent entitled “Integrated Vertical Axis Wind Power Generation System.” Hossain has invented a 14-novel claim “system of wind turbines that can catch wind blowing from any direction and eliminates the need of a yaw system. This system allows for mechanical maintenance at the ground level to increase worker safety.” WiSys accepted Hossain’s invention into its portfolio in 2017 and has “been working diligently since then to secure intellectual property protection, support the development of the technology and identify industry partners suitable to license this novel wind turbine system.”
