May 19, 2009 (FinancialWire) — SulphCo, Inc. (AMEX: SUF) has received a favorable judgment from the District of Nevada U.S. District Court in the case titled Talisman Talon Capital Fund, Ltd vs. Rudolf W. Gunnerman and SulphCo, Inc.

The court dismissed all claims with prejudice. The judgment remains subject to appeal by the plaintiff.

Dr. Larry D. Ryan, SulphCo’s chief executive officer, commented, “With this finding, it has been clearly established that SulphCo is in fact the rightful owner of the intellectual property that forms the foundation of SulphCo’s Sonocracking(tm) technology.”

Houston-based SulphCo has developed a patented safe and economic process employing ultrasound technology to alter the molecular structure of crude oil and crude oil fractions. The overall process is designed to “upgrade” the quality of crude oil and crude oil fractions by modifying and reducing the sulfur and nitrogen content to make those compounds easier to process using conventional techniques, as well as reducing the density and viscosity.
