Section 8 – Other Events


Item 8.01 Other Events.


On December 18, 2013, Visualant, Inc. (the “Company”), a provider of disruptive light-based technologies, announced that it received its sixth patent on its ChromaID™ technology. The latest patent further validates the Company’s vision to introduce more efficient authentication, identification and diagnostic methods into the marketplace, and comes shortly after Visualant announced its strategic relationship with Intellectual Ventures.


Future devices embedded with ChromaID technology can read and record natural chromatic markers by structuring light onto a substance, through a liquid or gas, or off a surface. Once scanned, the technology captures the reflected light using a simple Photodiode array and creates a unique ChromaID profile. The ChromaID profile can be matched against existing databases to identify, detect, or diagnosis markers invisible to the human eye.


The patent issued by the United States Office of Patents and Trademarks is US Patent No. 8,583,394 and is entitled “Method, Apparatus and Article To Facilitate Distributed Evaluation of Object Using Electromagnetic Energy.”
