BioWavePass AirOne Portable Palm Vein Payment POS Terminal Receives Design Patent

8 min read

Innovation is often measured by what customers can see.

Originality is measured by what can be protected.

We are proud to announce that the BioWavePass AirOne Portable Palm Vein Payment POS Terminal has officially been granted its Design Patent, following nearly nine months of examination by the National Intellectual Property Administration.

This milestone reflects our continued investment in original product design and strengthens the BioWavePass portfolio of innovative palm vein biometric payment solutions.


Why Design Patents Matter

A Design Patent is much more than an intellectual property certificate.

It represents the originality of a product’s industrial design and recognises the engineering, product development, tooling, and manufacturing investment required to transform an idea into a commercially available product.

For BioWavePass, protecting innovation is just as important as creating it.


Original Products Are Built, Not Copied

Developing a commercial biometric device requires far more than integrating existing components.

Every BioWavePass product is developed through extensive investment in:

  • Industrial design
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Optical system integration
  • Product development
  • Tooling and mould manufacturing
  • Prototype validation
  • Manufacturing preparation
  • Quality assurance

A Design Patent protects that originality while recognising the effort required to bring a product from concept to mass production.


Why This Matters to Customers

Choosing a biometric solution is about more than selecting hardware.

Customers are investing in a technology partner capable of supporting long-term innovation.

Original product development delivers important advantages, including:

  • Continuous product evolution
  • Stable manufacturing capability
  • Consistent product quality
  • Long-term technical support
  • Strong intellectual property protection
  • Greater confidence for OEM and enterprise partners

These are the foundations of sustainable product development and global customer trust.


Nearly Nine Months of Examination

Innovation requires patience.

The Design Patent approval process for the BioWavePass AirOne Portable Palm Vein Payment POS Terminal took nearly nine months, reflecting the detailed examination required before a design is officially recognised and protected.

While customers may only see the final certificate, it represents a much longer journey of research, engineering, design refinement, tooling development, and manufacturing preparation.

For us, receiving the certificate is not the finish line.

It is another milestone in our commitment to building original biometric technology.


Innovation Continues

The AirOne Design Patent is another important milestone in our intellectual property strategy.

Applications covering additional BioWavePass products, including the WavePass500 Palm Vein Payment Terminal and the PalmVein01 USB Palm Vein Scanner series, are also progressing.

As our product portfolio continues to expand, protecting innovation will remain a core part of how we build trust with customers and partners worldwide.
