CollPlant Advances its Photonic Computing Strategy Through LightSolver's Growing IP Portfolio

REHOVOT, Israel, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CollPlant Biotechnologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CLGN) today announced that its subsidiary, LightSolver, has filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an invention that significantly expands the capabilities of its all-optical, laser-based computing platform.

The LightSolver photonic platform

The provisional application, titled "Configuring a Programmable Analog Processor to Solve Inhomogeneous Boundary Value Problems," details a proprietary method for solving a broad class of complex physical and engineering problems. The invention broadens the range of scientific and engineering simulations that can be addressed by LightSolver's platform. It enables the platform to directly address partial differential equations (PDEs) underlying heat transfer, diffusion, electrostatics and fluid-flow phenomena, including those involving complex geometries and boundary conditions.

A key innovation enables the platform to incorporate boundary conditions and other problem parameters directly into the computation. By making these elements part of the solving process, the invention expands the range of complex scientific and engineering simulations that can be addressed by LightSolver's technology.

"This provisional patent application filing represents a key milestone in our long-term intellectual property strategy, designed to secure our core technological innovations as we build out our photonic computing platform," said Dr. Ruti Ben-Shlomi, CEO and Co-Founder of LightSolver. "By systematically expanding the addressable problem-space of our Laser Processing Unit (LPU), we are broadening its potential applicability across a wider range of workloads, while continuing to strengthen the intellectual property underlying our strategic commercialization path."

This filing strengthens LightSolver's intellectual property portfolio and supports the company's strategy to deliver material performance advantages for demanding computational tasks in industry and research.
