The European Patent Office (EPO) has announced its intention to grant Hexicon’s patent application for its mooring system using "Tension Leg Platform" technology.
The mooring system is part of the TwinWind technology which last year already received EPO’s patent application approval for its inclined towers. The EPO’s decision to grant the TLP patent application means that Hexicon now has the option to acquire validated patents in European countries. The EPO’s grant comes with the possibility to validate patents in all the EPO member states that the company selects. At present, Hexicon is foremost interested in the 20+ countries in Europe with a coastline.
