Applied UV Files Trademark Infringement Lawsuit Against Aeroclean Technologies

Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM: AUVI) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sterilumen, Inc., has filed a lawsuit in the amount of $20 million against Aeroclean Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AERC) and its predecessor, Aeroclean Technologies, LLC, for trademark infringement, unfair competition and damaging Sterilumen.

John F. Andrews, Applied UV's CEO and Director, stated, "Protecting our brand, Airoclean(TM), and trademarked products and technologies is crucial, and we will vigorously defend against infringements. Sterilumen is the owner of 29 issued patents and 18 pending patent applications and five 'AIRO' trademarks, including Airoclean(TM), in 19 countries, all of which are for use in connection with our air purification products. Significant resources have been invested to develop the products, and we currently possess a number of issued patents and pending patent applications with respect to both the AIRO products and the related technologies. Our brand is under attack by a new market entrant, Aeroclean, that improperly adopted and began to use a mark in connection with its own air purification products that we believe infringes on our trademark rights, creates confusion for buyers and violates fair competition practices."

"This filing is an important effort to protect the good will that has been created for our products and the trust that has been built with our customers," Andrews continued. "When an entity purchases any of our 'AIRO' branded products they can be assured of the science and technology that has gone into the products to make them effective, safe and reliable."

The Airocide(TM) system of air purification technologies was originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. It uses UVC energy to activate our proprietary, titanium dioxide-based photocatalyst that oxidizes and destroys all carbon-based molecules. This system has applications in the hospitality, hotel, healthcare, nursing homes, grocer, wine, commercial buildings and retail sectors. The Airocide(TM) system has been used by brands and organizations such as NASA, Whole Foods, Dole, Chiquita, Palace Vesace, Sub-Zero Refrigerators and Robert Mondavi Wines.

The complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
