Resonant’s Intellectual Property Portfolio Surpasses 300 Issued and Pending Patents
Company’s Recent Patent Portfolio Focused on 5G XBAR® Technology
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a provider of radio frequency (RF) filter intellectual property (IP) connecting People and Things, today announced that its patent portfolio has grown 50% year-over-year, now comprising over 300 issued and pending U.S. and foreign patents – of which over 150 are related to Resonant’s groundbreaking 5G XBAR® technology.
Resonant’s intellectual property portfolio is also actively supplemented with a comprehensive trade secret program designed to formally maintain the secrecy of Resonant’s proprietary technologies.
“2020 was a landmark year for intellectual property development at Resonant as we continued to build a significant protective moat around our technology – the strength of which has been validated through our strategic partnership with the world’s largest RF filter manufacturer,” said George B. Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Resonant. “To that end, half of our portfolio and the bulk of 2020’s patent growth relates to our key XBAR® RF filter technology, which is optimized for the wide bandwidths, high frequencies and low loss required for 5G and high frequency Wi-Fi bands.”
“Our success in patenting our groundbreaking XBAR® technology positions us to seize an immense emerging market opportunity in 5G RF filters, which we expect will revolutionize and launch countless industries ranging from remote surgery to autonomous vehicles. We look forward to continuing to build out our already strong IP portfolio and further protect it with new patent applications and our active trade secret program,” concluded Holmes.
About Resonant Inc.
Resonant (NASDAQ: RESN) is transforming the market for RF front-ends (RFFE) by disrupting the RFFE supply chain through the delivery of solutions that leverage our Infinite Synthesized Network (ISN) software tools platform, capitalize on the breadth of our IP portfolio, and are delivered through our services offerings. In a market that is critically constrained by limited designers, tools and capacity, Resonant addresses these critical problems by providing customers with ever increasing design efficiency, reduced time to market and lower unit costs. Customers leverage Resonant’s disruptive capabilities to design cutting edge filters and modules, while capitalizing on the added stability of a diverse supply chain through Resonant’s fabless ecosystem-the first of its kind. Working with Resonant, customers enhance the connectivity of current mobile devices, while preparing for the demands of emerging 5G applications.

About Resonant’s ISN® Technology
Resonant can create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be manufactured for less cost and less time than traditional approaches. ISN is a suite of proprietary mathematical methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques that enable us to explore a much larger set of possible design solutions that regularly incorporate our proprietary technology. We then quickly deliver design simulations to our customers, which they manufacture or have manufactured by one of our foundry partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) manufacturing methods and perform as well as those using higher cost manufacturing methods such as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW). Resonant’s method delivers excellent predictability, enabling achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as many turns through the fab. In addition, because Resonant’s models are fundamental, integration with its foundry and fab customers is seamless because its models speak the “fab language” of basic material properties and dimensions.
