FIRST RESPONDER TECHNOLOGIES ACQUIRES PATENT APPLICATION FOR BODY‐
MOUNTED THREAT DETECTION SYSTEM
Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or dissemination in the United States
Vancouver, British Columbia – May 26, 2020 – First Responder Technologies Inc. (“First
Responder” or the “Company”) (CSE: WPN | FWB: 3WK), a developer of WiFi‐based technologies
for detecting concealed weapons and for deterring mass shooting and terror attacks involving
concealed weapons, is pleased to announce that it has acquired a Patent Cooperation Treaty
(“PCT”) patent application pertaining to body‐mounted threat detection technology.
The PCT patent application, entitled “Body‐Mounted Threat Detection System and Methods of
Using Same”, represents an important step in expanding the Company’s intellectual property
portfolio. The patent application addresses a body‐mounted threat detection system for
detecting threatening objects carried by a suspect (the “Body Worn Application”).
“The Company would like to extend its sincere thanks to its founder and Chairman, Mr. Kulwant
(Kal) Malhi for assigning his innovative vision for body‐mounted threat detection to the
Company’s growing portfolio of intellectual property. First Responder remains very much the
product of Mr. Malhi’s passion, based on his early career experience as a front‐line police officer,
to develop new inventions that enhance public safety, while reducing the harm to First
Responders,” said Robert Delamar, the Company’s CEO.
The Company continues to advance a robust program of research and development, including
the recent announcement of an AI‐based open‐carry weapons detection camera, which the
Company anticipates the Body Worn Application may complement over time.
The PCT is an international patent law treaty, which provides a unified procedure for filing patent
applications to reserve the right to protect inventions in each of its member states. There are 153
contracting states within the PCT, including the jurisdictions of the United States, Japan, member
states of the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, China, Brazil,
Russia, India, as well as many others.
